you gotta add polyfill in that box and throw more a lot power to it then its rated for if you want proper desired output. Bigger box needs less power to get loud and plays a bit lower. Smaller boxes lose efficiency and gets louder on higher hertz bass. Its a complete and utter waste putting that 15 in a sealed box though. Efficiency is where your output comes from and sealed boxes have horrible efficiency.

I have a t2 12, it started in a sealed box. After perusing on here, put her in a ported box at 33hrtz, the diff was night and day. You will appreciate a ported enclosure much better. Will soon be running a set of the t2's as soon as I save enough coin to have one built.

I prefer the linear response from sealed enclosures myself, more into SQ then all out spl

You can get that same response with added output ported.
