I have to disagree. You should listen to the Bose 502 sub box (now discontinued). It would TOTALLY blow away most subs in the under $3000 category. And it only has a 12" speaker. So no, 15" speakers do not always rule.
Just another audio industry assumption. Very misleading for the most part too.
And a pair of the PAS Bose subs, fight way above their weight class as well imo.
I managed to once do a comparo between them and the Mackie 15swa1501, and the Mackie was NOT in the race. And when pushed, made the bass response quite sloppy, whilst the Bose retained REAL bite and punch throughout its designed performance range.
Again another industry assumption that the Mackie box is a super powered sub. It is a good box, but not the be all and end all.
I say all this to simply reinforce that ONLY by listening can a prospective purchaser make the right decision for them. It cannot be done soley on the written word of another user.

Dennis my comparison, was not a sub woofer comparison..but stated the full range Cube 15" is way superior to the Bose L1 "sub woofer"
I can get a great bass response from the Podium 1204..also as good or better than a Bose L1 sub woofer...but the Roland 15" outclasses the Podium too in the bass department........not even close..
