Depends on your amp. If you're gonna run a one ohm stable amp, get the dvc 4 ohm versions.

If you're gonna run a 2 ohm stable amp, get the svc 4 ohm versions.

Be sure they are the Reference HO, not HF, or Ultimax or any of their other subs.

The amp is an Audio Que Aq-1200.

and you plan to run a pair of them?

Then do the DVC 4 ohm ones

Then yep go dvc.

I'd also like to mention that you could go with something more SQL oriented too, like the Sundown SA 12 or Obsidian OA 12 and still be pleased. They will offer more volume and still sound nice.

They are not true SQ subs like the Dayton but thats not to say that they sound bad at all. I think they also fit the bill, in case you wanted something a little louder.

Wanna trade that AQ 1200 for a Soundstream Rubicon 1.2500d?
