Benefits of 15's over 12's?

[silenkiller 10+ year member]

If I walloff the backseat/trunk space, I think I can fit two 15s (~7cuft) inside the trunk that way.

Now, two 12's will be a lot easier to work with(4cuft), but would the gains from having the two 15s on the same wattage, same brand/type of sub, be worth the extra effort on building/installing the 15s? (bigger box, harder to squeeze in the trunk, etc)

FI bl's - 12s and 15s on about 2000watts btw.

yeah like, i'm willing to figure out how to get them in there and remove my seats if its going to be a lot better than the 12s, plus I've never had 15s before and they have a cool size appeal but the bottom line is, is it going to be worth all that **** effort lol

If you are gonna build a wall anyway, I dont see any point in going small. Do you?

2 15"s have a little less cone are than 4 12"s. I would say it will definitely be louder and worth it.
