    mix bag you got there Heel, I would like to see the JBL 12" with the 240 amp, but thats not a choice, So try the 15" dayton. I just feel that 400 watts will lend itself into the overkill range (with the tile floors).

    Because by default, you're using a variable-width font. I used "code" as a shortcut to using a fixed-width font.

    The amount of power means little. The Dayton probably needs less power to max out it capabilities. That doesn't mean that they Dayton will put out any less sound than the JBL. My DIY sub will maximize it's output on only 300 watts but it would also provide much more output than either of these subs.

    Its not the sound level, but control of the sound, In most amp's you don't get that smooth transistion from a little power to the big push. So with less power to control he may be able to tailor the sound better. Not to say its impossible, but a consideration.

    I can say implicitly that this sub is big enough.
