I had a 12 and a 15 in my boot, sounded awesome, the 12 for the punch and the 15 for the deep notes!

Probably just have one in now though to save weight, keep me faster  :grin:

im sure there have been a debate on this in the past about wether the 12 would cancel the 15 and the 15 would cancel the 12.

Yeah and I said that it didnt. As soon as the wires came out of the 12 you could proper hear the difference and vice versa.

I would recommend both to anybody tbh!
Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

Im not for or against this by the way as iv never heard them together, the difference may be minimal. i can understand both points and have to say im swayed towards the science side in that the amps for both subs would have to output the same signal at exactly the same time so as not to distort. also, a 12 is going to be faster than a 15 so the 12's cone will be on the way back while the 15 is still on the way out. there is a lot of things against this, i have however heard a 10 and a 15 together and they sound pants.

personal preference.  :smiley:

I have only ever heard my 2 together and I think it sounds the nuts, I could put one in and sell the other one but I just think both together are good!

Hey - If you like the sound of em thats all that matters.  I tend not to listen to all people say, thats why iv got 2 sets of comps, front and rear.

where did you put your tweeters & crossovers in the back?

not sure if yours is 3 or 5 door but mines 3.

Took off rear quarter cards. used original pods for woofer and slightly reshaped the original tweeter pods which point slightly backwards so not to contaminate the setup in the front. My crossover just happens to fit directly into the pollystirene (spelling) surrounding for the woofer. If it doesnt there is a cavity behind the speaker pod (presuming its 3dr) you could put it in and tape it to the cars shell.

Hope that makes sense, if it doesnt let me know and ill try and explain it a little better.
