if your lookinf for sq like you said then L7's arent what you want. a mag or XXX would be a good choice and for 2 12's or a 15 it depends on how much room you have

i am not only looking for sq.. iam looking for good spl but not horrible sq.. and i would rather do 1 15 unless 2 12s would sound better.

What amp?

well...they kind of go hand-in-hand. I will assume you will get a 1-ohm stable amp so that you can go either way.

Do you think you can fit two 15s sealed? I am moving from two ported 12s to two 15s sealed. I am looking pretty seriously at the FiCarAudio and StereoIntegrity. Si sells a BM that is simialr to the mag and at a good price. Only available in 12s though.

i think even a used mag would cost you more then $300 unless the guy is holding his last $5 bill and its a life or death thing..you should look into FI..really good prices you'll have more left over for a really nice amps..there Q series i belive is there sql and the BTL is there spl series..

check out http://www.low-hz.com, then PM showrides for a better price. I was quoted close to $1k for 2 15" mags shipped. The BMs should be less than 1/2 than. I think two BMs may push your budget a bit, but will be well well worth it.

tc sounds also has subs that i know you will like, great sq and they have the tc-3000 which can get really loud. all for a very reasonable price. as for the amp. if your on a budget get a power acoustik class d
