what power do you have

2000W for 2 sealed Q's....

I wouldn't even try to do 2 15's in that space sealed or not. You could just build a new box and do 2 12's ported and be much happier. Like what was said before you are going to need some decent power since sealed boxes aren't as efficient as ported. You could do just about any decent 12 on the market in 1.5-2.0 cubes ported and have them louder than 2 15's in the same air space sealed. I'm not trying to change your mind, just giving you another option to think about.

when you say efficient what do you mean exactly. sealed boxes are more geared for sq than spl....thats unless you have mass cone area.

i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

By efficient I mean that you need less power to make them louder than a sealed box. With that size box and a 15" woofer you would need a decent amount of power to make it play loud, but if you had the same sub in a larger ported box the sub would get louder with less power.
