SQ Sub route need some advice!!

So im finally looking to get some sq subs and get rid of my ssa dcon, shes a beast but im in the trying mood. Im looking to do 2 10's in a sealed box and i have some ideas but would like some input on what to do and what some good sq subs would be for this setup.
Right now i am looking at two different options;
2 Dayton Audio Ho 10's
2 OZ matrix elites 10's D2

How are these options and what other routes should i think about, i am willing to put about $300 into the subs combined and will need to buy a new amp for the subs too so those reccomendations would be much welcomed too! Thanks for looking!

Rear: 3-way Memphis Power Reference 6x9
Stage Amp: Arc Audio kar 400.4

the oz woofers are very nice and grimy has some for sale here,dont know much about the dayton's but alot of guys here like them.as for amp really depends on power and budget.the dc amps are 90% efficient so they would be a great choice if you want big power.if you are looking for smaller power , lets say 1000 watts or less ,look at arc ,zapco ,or audison and even zed

I have been trying to decide on a single 12" SQ / SQL sub, myself.
A few of the ones I have been considering, that may be of some assistance to you:

JL Audio W3
RE ***
DC Level3
DD1510a
Skar VVX10
Dayton RSS265 HO

All are reasonably good for use in sealed enclosure, tho the EBP on the Dayton is notably higher than any of the others.

HTH

i'd go either dc or dayton ,not a big jl fan ,re isn't that good anymore,and skar i'm told is more spl than sql,and dd steel basket and i dont like the sound of dd woofers,personally .

I just picked up a Dayton HF12 for super cheap. It will be my first 12. Ive ran everything but 12's.

do the HO's.
There is so much more to sq then just sounding good. The ho excels at all of them.

what do the ho's do better?

haha that has to be my favorite quote, "do the HO's"

They don't localize easy. They blend well, and they don't distort very easy. I have pushed mine well into clipping and still didn't sound as bad as some spl subs I've owned.

what would be a good amp to push 2 of either of these subs?

that depends entirely on budget

lets say i dont want to spend more than 300 on an amp, but still want good quality.

Daytons are very nice SQ wise. Highly recommended. Mine are ported on about 400 rms each. Tuned to 30hz and they get plenty loud while still having amazing SQ.

How are the tc sounds epics? What's the difference between the Dayton hf and ho line besides rms?

the hf are less sensitive, and need larger enclosures. The tc sound good but not as good as the daytons at sq
