If you just want to drop all $600 on a good sub go to soundqubeds big brother... the DC subs are made by the same guys as soundqubed but are basically the higher line (kinda like lincoln to ford in the car world) you would have to call DC to be sure but im almost positive the DC XL 12" would be in that range... it doesnt have a ton of excursion but i PROMISE you these things pound and from my experience sound good to. They will handle every bit of that Q1-2200D and more (even though it is suggested to only run 2200 rms but it will easily do more).I have already accounted for this but thank you.
I'm just having a pretty rough time trying to pick a sub of my choice because I want something that does well with a variety of music with a balance of SQ and SPL.
I definitely know the Zv4's won't do the job for Rock and other kinds of music as it is a lower frequency woofer.
The only issue is I don't have much of a reference for how a subwoofer sounds because YouTube video's don't tend to give accurate sound since most camera microphone's don't pick up on bass well enough.
I'm considering the HDC412 but I have a budget of $600 and would like to spend it all and on something worthwhile since this will be my only upgrade I make for a long time.
You are confusing dc with Dd.If you just want to drop all $600 on a good sub go to soundqubeds big brother... the DC subs are made by the same guys as soundqubed but are basically the higher line (kinda like lincoln to ford in the car world) you would have to call DC to be sure but im almost positive the DC XL 12" would be in that range... it doesnt have a ton of excursion but i PROMISE you these things pound and from my experience sound good to.

and to there contact number- DC Audio - Contact
Personally I still think you cant go wrong with the HDC4 BUT that DC will outdo it if you really want to spend the extra money
Would this enclosure from Dave the Box Guy be sufficient?get the q1... not something off ebay... to much bs with it. and the dc xl would be good in 1.5 to 2 cubic foot box (after displacement of the sub and port area) and probably tuned to like 33 Hz
I would go with the medium because the small box is based on the avg sub placement of .12Would this enclosure from Dave the Box Guy be sufficient?
Small:
Net box volume (after port displacement and avg. sub displacement of .12ft3): 1.5ft3 net volume
Overall dimensions: 29"w x 14.5"h x 13" d
Tuning: 33hz
or
Medium:
Net box volume (after port displacement and avg. sub displacement of .12ft3): 1.85ft3 net volume
Overall dimensions: 29.5"w x 14.5"h x 14" d
Tuning: 32hz
