[QUOTE="AstoSoup, post: 8306445, member: 640347"] The front baffle is only 14" tall overall, so there is just not enough room to expand the hole for a 15. I also have a 2 cu ft, slot ported prefab box, tuned to 38Hz. With my sub in that box, frequencies under 40Hz were very faint and LOW frequencies are my goal. Of course I believe at that time, the lead had already fried on my sub, leaving me with one voice coil active :/ I did have one other option, that is to put an entirely new 1" baffle covering both 12" holes and have one 15 facing up, with the round port facing back. I would like to know if the partially blown sub had anything to do with the frequency response in the 2 cube box, maybe that would be my best bet. So back to my original inquiry, what gets the loudest SPL, two lower wattage 12's, or one higher wattage 15? I totally LOATH building boxes and loath slot ports even more, due to lack of skill in constructing them lol. If I have to change enclosures, I will.... But would like to find the right sub for this 4 cube. Will check out the DSS subs and will take a pic of both enclosures and post them in a moment. Thanks again everyone! [/QUOTE]
