hey you guys should i buy 2 more 12's and do 6 12's ported or go with 4 15's ported? the 6 12's would be getting 1800watts rms and the 4 15's would be getting 1200 watts rms. also im looking for which would hit harder and travel longer as well as which would be louder db wise. thanks

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!

i would personally go with 6 12's becuse it is going to louder than 4 15's becuse there are 2 extra subs there and just becuse the 15's are bigger doesnt mean they are better, anyways what looks better? 4 15's? yea that looks kinda cool but there are a lot of people that have 4 subs int heir cars. now 6 12's? there is somethin that you dont see all the time, and you kno that they are gonna hit hard even just looking at them.

I would go ported (im assuming that your not looking for much SQ anyway). Ported should be louder and will really get the air moving in the cab of your truck. It should be hella loud with the subs right behind the front seats.
