Re: sub size
Sure but why 15"? I'd take two 10's over one 15" anyday.

Re: sub size
Thats because rockford sucks, lol j/k it should all be the same but you will have to run a crossover wire between the two wire ports on the sub, but the directions will show you how to do that. I have a Type R 12" and its great. Never heard a fifteen tho. Buy yea it should be the same size or very close, you shouldnt have a problem.

Re: sub size
I wouldn't knock Rockford... I had two Rockford 10's in my Firebird and those things slammed at 300watts... Never had a problem with them blowing... I switched over to a single 12" Type R sub for my Talon though because I wanted just a cleaner sounding bass... Also I prefer to not have my ears bleed anymore. lol
But yes, the 15's should fit in the same box with no problems...

Re: sub size
I'm guessing the box wasn't deep enough for the new sub. IIRC, those new alpines have a huge ass magnet on them.
