Of those, I would choose the Fi SSD's (copper coil)

that's what i have been leaning to.... do i buy them direct from Fi?

what would be a good sized ported box for those??

once again its a everyday driver that i want really loud

Fi is direct only: http://www.Ficaraudio.com. The box sizes are listed on the Fi forum on SSA, and believe me the SSD's can get loud I have heard a few installs now with them. Plus you can customize them to your install or needs.

so the mtx 7500 are not worth it? i can get them at cost from the shop i work at?

but i have been looking at the Fi's for awhile now... just wanted some opinions.

Well you need to figure out which one is best for your application and make a choice. The Fi has an advantage because you can customize it.

ok ... ideff want to go with the fi's... SSA has a forum on ported box for that model sub??

From the forum posted by Nick (Fi rep and tech support):

 

SSD 12 – We recommend using a sealed box in the neighborhood of .8-1.6 cubic feet of volume (after all displacements for those wondering). I personally recommend 1.1 cubic feet of volume for the copper coil option SSD.

 

Ported box we recommend using 1.8-2.5 cubic feet @ 33Hz (this is optimal in our eyes and to our ears, you can tune 31-35hz fine if you so please)

the DA D6's sound good ported and sealed. I've had mine in a sealed box and a ported box and the sound quality is still there.
