cone area is basically the only difference when looking at the difference sizes of a same model.

that and space requirements.

12s and 15s of the same model? 15's take more room and are more efficient. db/watt

If you have room for the proper enclosure, do 15s

ok 12s and 15s same brand and model and the wattage is only 100 rms difference each sub.

How about you tell us what subs you're considering?

There can be quite a difference in enclosure needs between 12s and 15s of the same model.

there my jbl gti subs i alrdy 3 12's but i had them then here was a problem then the got stolen form the dealers place so then they ordered me some more its been almost 3 months i talked to another dealer about the subs he will give me a better price. this other dealer has been giving me the run around for a while so im going to get my money back on friday. i alrdy have a sealed box for the 12's but i can easily make a sealed box for the 15's it wont be much harder besides i never made a box and this can be my first i plan on doing a wall in the future but for now i can build a cheap sealed box for 15s if i get 3 of them. i plan on having total of 6 though.

i am building a wall but i cant decide on 6 12's or 6 15's i am going to use 3 12s/15s in a sealed box temp then i will build a wall in the future but going to make a sealed box for 15 or use the sealed box for 12s it all depends on which size i chose.
