6 12"s? Why? What 12's and for what reason?

I like having a more controlled bass. With 12's they are tighter and more punchier than 15's. I think with the right setup either one will be louder than hell. As Uthink asked, what type of 12's or 15's?

i like the sound of 15"s, especially from Memphis subs. I'd go with four of them over 6 12''s. I like 15" bass projection. 12"s do hit notes cleaner most of the time, and a lot of people consider 15"s "sloppy bass", but to me its all good and boy i wouldn't go back to 12"s for the world!
