12" fi ssd upgraded vs???

[rebelfromva 10+ year member]

Looking to do a single 12" sub setup in the bolt due to requirement of some trunk space. Been looking at the fi ssd with upgraded coils and cooling and it's looking pretty impressive for the price. The woofer will be ran on roughly 1500 watts. Anyone have any opinions on these woofers? I also had been looking at the zv3 which is a beast but comes with a beast price tag too, and the ab xfl which would put me in same price range as the ssd. Box will be roughly 2.5 cubes regardless of which woofer.

I like my Havoc a lot. Might be worth a consideration. It's optimal box size is 1.5-2.5 ported. Mines in 1.89 and gets low. I'm giving it 1900 watts and its still breaking in. 1500 watts would be plenty.

My man mylows suggested the havoc. Seems to be a beast of a woofer. The havoc would would be roughly halfway in cost between the ssd and zv3. I know the havoc would handle more than the ssd but which would preform better on the 1500 watts?

I don't know much about the ssd so I couldn't give you a comparison. The havoc is a beast. Kills the lows. This is my fourth system and its by far the loudest. It's still breaking in so I haven't tried to push it too hard but it gives you the tingle in your throat and feels like your head is being compressed LOL. It's on a stock 160 amp alt and stock batt. I'm going to get a new batt this week and upgrade some wires under the hood. I live in a downtown area and I don't want to annoy my neighbors so I haven't had the chance to really see what it can do. I got a taste when I got on the highway but once its broken in and I get the electrical done I'll take it out to a rural area and make a vid.
