[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8260311, member: 614752"] Suit yourself. Ever try a good 15" in 5 cubes? With the stuff I've experimented with (over-damped subs), a 12" will be louder than a 15" in 3 cubes. My theory is that most manufacturers realize that in addition to how much power people think they can throw at a sub, the next best thing to attract the uninformed is cone area. Claiming your 15" will be great in 2.5-3 cube is a great way to sell more 15's. Most people in HT look to tune down in the low 20's so they can play down to 16-18hz range sound effects in movies. Of course if you're setting up a home theater you have plenty of room for 8 or 10" full range that can handle down to 50 or so so that your sub system needs only focus on a much narrower bandwidth.
