15" Subwoofer Build

Yea. The jbl is also rated for long excursion same with other good pro woofers so they will be able to sustain the really low frequencies well. Jbls are pricey unless going in used market and even then it's hit or miss. I got lucky with mine cause they were missing dustcaps and cabs ruffed up with rough scratches and chip here and there on the cab but, didn't care as long they worked I was happy and didn't mind putting work into them.

The peavey low maxx and low riders have deeper cuts in the magnets for that very reason. You can trade the efficiency a bit for extra extension especially if you have the amp that can make up for the 3 or so db loss.

Peavey subs are not bad and not bad price especially for their performance. Only other thing I like bout them too is they're completely field replaceable so you can just unbolt the fried driver and place new basket in and you'll be good to go. Not built like jbls but are not bad either if you give them a low crossover point.  Lot of pro woofers don't sound bad. Only time where one shines over the other is when you cross them over too high... Most pro woofers don't do well above 800-1.5khz but, never expect them too since they were designed and meant for low frequency use.
