12" woofer that does work on lows?

[LowNotes 10+ year member]

I'm currently limited to a box around 4.5-5 cubic feet so I can only really run one 12" woofer if I want to get the most of out my system. I've been looking for an upgrade and all im looking for is a woofer with 'somewhat-decent' sound quality, loud, and kills low notes. I did some research on DD, Kicker, JBL, Sundown, and a few others and I can't really find a definite answer to my question. Knowing that a lot of your bass falls back on installation and box, what kind of box would be best for the lower end hz? . I just want opinions on well-made, low hitting 12's (for daily use, 2-3 hours). If there is some 15" woofers that don't require more than 4.5-5cf I'll be happy to take advice on them as well. I just want some low notes man //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif lol

Mach5 ixl. Tc sounds LMS are supposed to kill the lows also

You should be able to get a 15 ported in 5cubes before displacement

is that 5 cubes before or after displacement

90% of the sound depends on the enclosure

TC Sounds LMS-R or Exodus Tempest X2 are my choices. For either one I'd do 2.25ft^3 tuned to 28hz.
