RE: 15
right now i have two 12" mtx 5500's and they are 600w rms together. i just bought one 12" kicker L7 and that alone is 750w rms. the amp will perfectly power it at 750. and it will be loud!
look at www.sonicelectronix.com they have fair prices.

15's sound great. the speaker diameter is your personal choice limitedby the space you have and/or are willing to give up for thesub and box. the sub, amp and ohms load need to match up with each other most importantly. i dont concern myself with under or over-powering a sub. you will blow a sub fasterunder-powering it with dirty power than over-powering it with clean power. the trick is knowing when the subor amp is starting to clip and not turning it up to that level unless its for a short burp to impress your friends.

How would a 15" speaker sound with it maxed out with watts? would it be pretty loud?

They make cheapo $20 15"s that they sell in parts catalogs and at radio shack that handle under 50 watts rms- and they make 15"s that'll handle 2000+ watts rms for short burps.
There have been single 15" extreme class cars that have done deep into the 160 db range (I could've swore there were even a handful in the low 170s)- so it really just varies on exactly what driver you're talking about.
can anyone guide me to hook up basic tweeters?
