no, it does not depend on the enclosure, they are completely different speakers. The ones you brought up are midbass drivers that happen to have 15" cones, nothing more. But we're talking about car audio, and 15" midbass drivers do not exist in car audio, so when someone mentions a 15 they are talking about a 15" subwoofer (not a midbass driver in a different enclosure, a completely different type of speaker, just like the difference between a tweeter and a midrange). 15" subwoofers generally tend to roll off around 100hz, which is perfectly acceptable in car audio because at that frequency the bass is starting to become directional, which means you are going to lowpass the sub below that point anyway.
