i personally would go with the L5 , i had an L5 8inch and it was the most impressive lil sub i've ever had. but i think it depends alot your amp and what kinda of music you wish to listen to.

Im thinking about going with the rockford t1000bd which is kind of expensive but I want the best and have saved up a bit of money. As music goes i listen to nothing but rap.

if it's all deep stupid bass like most rap, then i'd totally go 15, tune low and enjoy :d

If you jstu listen to rap the 15 would be your choice


if your not upgrading your front speakers and you listen to rap AND other stuff ( techno , rock etc) the 15 might be a bit boomy.

Without good midbass up front most 15's just sound like poop to me.

i would say get the pair of 12" Comp Vr's and put them in sealed boxes. should play nice and low and still be punchy enough rock music.

I Have an 12" L7, with a box tuned to... 37hz I think it is. And it is very good for rap, since thats all I listen too

Oh and I hit a 140.1db running a 47hz tone with it!
