Decision between a soundstream spl160 (15") or a boston acoustics 10.4LF. I would like deep bass, but need the box to be as small as possible. (It's going into my itty bitty daily driver)

Anyways the boston seems to do good in a 2 cu ft box, while the soundstream seems to be crap at anything under 3 cu ft or so. Reccomendations?

Boston = Smaller box, less power required, better sound quality...

I prefer the largest sealed box that the driver would handle for the best frequency roll-off curve.

15" woofers don't "sound good" to me...
