Ok so here's my problem, i cant figure out if i should get a 12" or a 15" brahma. i have upto 2 cu/ft to work with, i listen to a lot of rock music with some rap and other things trown in. I want it to be load but still sound good, i need to go with only 1 sub as thats what u can afford. i have a infinity amp that puts out 657W at 2 Ohm. Also i'm gunna go with a sealed box.

i would go with a 12, for rock music I find a 15 to be a little sloppy

2 cubic feet should work great sealed with the Brahma 15. The Brahma 12 requires half that space. You will get a little louder and a little lower with the Brahma 15, and I can guarantee you it won't sound sloppy.

BTW, is that amp 1 ohm stable? The Brahma's have dual 2 ohm voice coils, so you can either have a 1 ohm or 4 ohm load.

Ok well i can get a good deal on a jbl powervalve amp.

600W rms at 4 Ohms

1200W rms at 2 Ohms

and it's 1 Ohm stable, it does not have a subsonic filter but since i'm going sealed i dont need it right? subsonic is for ported right?

Anyhow it's a factory renewed amp and it's only 200$

JBL makes great amps, oh and go with the 15''
