Interesting... Well, it did come in last night and, WOW, it's big! 15" doesn't sound like that big a sub until it's in front of you! As far as looks go, that thing looking back out at me when I open the trunk, will definitely have the most wow factor.

I should be able to finish the 12s box this week and give them a listen... Then I'll start building the next box.

Done and ready for a test bump. I'll cover it later.

Push terminals all around:

Damn looks good! I've been wanting to try a Brahma 12 for a while. Keeping an eye on this one!

They are really beefy, beautiful subs!

Beefy is right! I had no idea what to expect, but those surrounds are massive! I imagine the motors are massive as well.

Beautiful work, as usual.

Ok, so I fired it up, and here are my initial impression BEFORE touching anything in the tune:
The two 12s easily have the same or better output than the Hutchinson. Also, without even measuring I can tell they have a much flatter frequency response, they neither peak nor fall off much anywhere to my ears...
Keep in mind that is at the same settings that Dirac Live gave the Hutchinson. After adjusting crossovers and retuning with DL, who knows what they will do! ;)
They are smooth sounding subs but will absolutely kick your butt!
Bad news, I've got some new rattles...

I think I have come to the conclusion that I like the sound of sealed better than ported. To me it seems tighter, cleaner, more precise, etc..
