the 15a is the one people have been having a few problems with recently. I honestly think a 12a would be perfect...consider it a middle ground between the 12w6v2 and the 12w7...those are it's main competition sonically (from JL anywho). Of course...bottom line is that it's up to you! 
yea I wondered if there were some problems with it, even by their own descriptions:servoeyes said:the 15a is the one people have been having a few problems with recently.

"The e15A is a driver we've struggled to perfect while keeping our standards nailed to the ground. After months and months of production, prototyping, and going back to the drawing board our goals have been met."
" The e15A has taken flat the flat cone and the idea of just 'how strong' it can be to new heights. We've since adapted the flat cone into every subwoofer we build due to the having less problem rates, higher performance, and giving it a look that can't be missed. The e15A adapts a new aluminum based structural enhancement system that allows the cone to face abuse with a smile."
(in other words, they had to add aluminum to reinforce the cone because it was so large and flat!
)but that's good to know, thanks
yea post pics, that would be sweetgot wake? said:my buddy's 15A should be in today or tomorrowhe's building a box with his dad this weekend. i'll post some pics of it when it comes in. he'll be running it off a 600 watt amp will he gets a larger 1000 watt one

i would eventually like to get a JL 500/1 amp. i was planning on getting a 10w7 JL sub. what are people's thought on that sub and combo?
twilightprotege said:
definitely a pricey combo, but it'll rock
but i'll keep my brahma 10 and save the money and i'm finally getting it back next tuesday, after being rebuilt. they should have never covered it under warranty, but i figured i'd fight to see if i could get them to, and low and behold they did 2300 watts, high stress on the suspension from the 6th order bandpass box, over extended it many times, yeah, it should have never been covered but i'll deal with taking a while to get it rebuilt since i paid half what you are going to have to pay, and i've got over 4 times the power on tapnate0123 said:say what? my subwoofer can't handle 2300 watts? (ripped)
power handling is all applications specific
my sub is rated 1600 rms to 4800 peak course the 15" version of my sub took 30,000 watts before you can hear distortion this'll give you an idea of how box size effects power handling. in a ported box, subs are able to handle power similar to sealed above the tuned freq. below it the power handling is horrible, and the speaker will be come unloaded if you try to push it too much. but yes, the 15A would handle 2300 watts as long as it's clean power and the power is not abused depending on the box. i've heard of guys running 6k watts to the 15Asweet my buddy got his 15A yesterday
he got it all hooked up last night, at like 10:30 after i had just fallen asleep:mad: needless to say i heard it loud and clear in my hotel room
it's a bad b****. i'll be metering it today or tomorrow. it's only running off 600 watts, but it sounded like it was plenty to move it

The 15A is the king beast. It's amazing they kept it so strong at that size.

stronger, i believe. it's prefered for high end enclosures, mainly for home use. MDF is pretty much the standard for mobile audio, though. some use HDF (high density fiberboard). my buddy wanted to do all the work, so he took the recomendations from ED's site, changed them around a little to fit his trunk better, then had me check things out to make sure it was right. it's got the same internal volume and the port is tuned the same, although the dimensions are different.
