The 15 is great as well. May need to move more cone area BUT the 15 is more efficient than the 12. Suspension is tighter in the 12. Hard to beat. You will be more than happy.
I disagree. Very well built subwoofer. Sounds amazing. Haven't had in my car for a while because of an electrical issue but couldn't sell it because I like it too much.
i had a 15 in 3.2 cubes net tuned to around 33 hz. i listen to mostly rap and it was very accurate. it didn't have the muddy and boomy bass lines that other drivers had. it could pick up the quick beats with the best of them. the output was very good. imo a great street beater like you wanted. imo it wasn't a sub that would comps, but i've read people put up good numbers. fed it 1400 watts rms and it handled it no problem.
