Sounds like you have enough space for either...guess it depends on just how much and what kind of bass you want.

I guess I would go with 15s.. Imena, move more air, RE is a solid company and doesnt fuck aorund (assuming) low inductance, there shoudlnt be too much fo a problem with the 15 v 12 argument.. sinc cargo space isnt an issue, 15s ported and BOOM the fuck out of it

15s are deeper bass but 12s need less power and produce good mid bass, if your getting a SUV definately go 15 then you can expand to more 15s after you get it
