Im having a hard time weeding thru everything to find the best of the best woofer for my application. It seems as if i get a different answer from everyplace... So ive decided to ask seperate questions and be more specific in my application goals (and poll as many peeps as possible). Box will be ported using 6" areos. I want a pair of 15s that can accuratly reproduce all bass (especially the lows) @ a 4 ohm load on my amp. At that power i want to be able to go to an sq comp and win. But i want to be able to take it down to 1 ohm and run like meade... subs must be able to handle the power at 1 ohm and sound as good as possible. Daily is where im mainly concerned with but im not sure on how much power i will run for daily (1ohm or 4 ohm) but if i get a quad coil woofer i may just run it at 2ohm but im not sure.

below is the sites for the woofers in question

theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer

The RE XXX 12 recieved one of the highest scores on all types of music with an average of 8.5 overall rating so I am assuming that the 15" model would also be a great sub.

it still reproduces bass in the higher frequencies with great power and definition, and volume, you really have to hear one to understand what I mean...

Sorry if I sounded snotty about it but those subs really impressed the hell out of me thats why I sprung for 4 of the 18's

We have carried RE for the last 3 years so I have heard the first ones (05) which really caught my attention and also the 06's

which are even more impressive...
