Are you asking about the fEARful designs? They're extremely sonically similar.

+1.

They're closer to identical in both tone and low-end extension, than any other family of cabs on the market. They just get louder as they get bigger.

However, the extra headroom as you move up, allows you to run heavy EQ at progressively higher volumes. The ultimate would be a 1515/6, or a modular stack.

Assuming we're talking about fEarfuls, the 15/6 will go slightly deeper than the 1212/6, and a bit more than slightly deeper if you put it in the bigbox fEarB cabinet. The 1212/6 will play between 3 and 4 dB louder because it has slightly higher efficiency along with double the thermal power handling. Neither cab is likely to reach its excursion limits under normal use, but for the record the 1212/6 has about 1 dB higher excursion-limited max SPL than the 15/6 .

Look at the SPL charts. I assume they exist. If they don't, they should. And since fEarful has its own forum that's where you should be asking.
