Stick with my AV15, or upgrade to the TD18H+?

I have this posted on CAF as well, but thought I'd post here anyways, see if I can get a couple differnt oppinions.

So, I'm considering upping the ante and going with the TD18H+ from John. Accoding to John, it displaces roughly the same amount of air as the AV15, but is 8db more efficient, will be ~8.2db louder at 70Hz, and will take all of the power I can possibly throw at it. He also said it will work well in ~4 cubes in a car.

Now, also considering switching form ported to a PR setup. John has recommended this to me multiple times, and I mean I just think about how badass it would be to have an 18 firing forward, with dual 15" or 18" PR's loading the rear window, rockin along perfectly to some techno at say, 145+ db's

why would you want a 8db increase at 70hz?

Because what I have now doens't have jack at 70Hz. Long sotry, John knows my entire setup, so that was a comment pertaining directly to my current setup/install.

Dude, wtf are you talking about? John Janowitz has been around for years and years. AE was formerly known as Stryke Audio.

I believe he still modified those TC2+ motors with copper sleeves on the poles like his current design, but I can't guarantee it.

Haven't heard either sub, your setup or even know what your true goals are, so I, like most here, can't give you any sort of realistic feedback.
