u have to be kidding? the best systems that i have ever heard include small subs for midbass and a larger for subsonic bass i have 2 eights mounted free air in the pass through of my s-14, good clean hard mid bass, and a 15 in the trunk for solid lows, it does the job perfectly the music quality rivals that of systems much more expensive than mine, and i have other people telling me the same thing. u can create awesome sound from a 15, but u wont get all the full spectrum of bass from it, expect mostly deep lows, near frequencies of like < 80hz, u need something to fill in the range between about 80 and 250 hzs, a pair of 8's or a ten or a 12 could accomplish that but different subs produce different types of bass, a 12 or a ten could in fact deliver the bass below 80 hz and do it well but dont expect the full spectrum of bass from any speaker, u need to have some crossovers to set up how u want everything playing, and to get the cleanest sound, just dont slack off on the install do a good job. my setup is with the 8's not crossed over at all, and the 15 crossed over below 125 hz, but this is going to depend highly on the bass notes and frequencies that ur speakers will be able to reproduce. I have a Solo-baric 15 in the trunk and the two pioneer free air eights in the pass through, it works perfectly the speakers and custom fab and box for the 15 cost me $500 so its not exacly cheap and not exactly expensive, but well worth it
