Virtually every system I have seen with 15''s used there is a serious lack of power to the rest of the system. I'm not saying 15's cant sound good but it takes more than just the 15 and an amp to build a good system and if your puttin out that much bass you better have a killer system to complement it

SubZero makes pretty good boxes but for a 15" sub in a nice sound system you may want to look into custom boxes. I had my box built custom for my trunk and sub setup and I am WAY happier with it than any premade boxes I have had in the past
WOW!

is there something i can read, either a book or online, on sound in the car, particularly discussing reasoning scientifically o ndifferent aspects of customizing an audio setup? I plan on doing a system soon and want to not screw it up. Plus always an interesting read if you're learning something beneficial.
I say ditch it. If you want a pretty kick *** system. Might be able to hook you up with a 12" oz audio sub 1400 watts and a locally made custom bomber box for about $320 plus shipping. Let me know if you would be interested.

1 15" XXX will keep up with just about anything. having worked with them, installed them, and knowing some of the people who build them, they are without a doubt one of the best woofers out there. I've installed them in sealed and ported, I prefer them ported to 28 Hz, which gives you blindingly powerful low, low bass.
In a blind listening test JL reps have chosen the XXX as a better driver than the W7. THAT says a lot.
