Help looking for 2 12"

[Stem 10+ year member]

Hey fellas just got back from a couple year hiatus. Anyways i need some help figuring out a new setup. Right now i have a 15" RE SX ported with a HiFonics BX1000D. Its a solid sub but not quite loud enough, theres some problems with it and i just wanna get rid of it and get a new one.

Im now looking to get a couple 12"s. Here are some things im lookin for: I want to port it less than or equal to 4cubes. A daily driver that could hurt my ears when i pushed it. Lookin to feed the subs about or less than 1000w. Not looking to spend more than $300 each sub. And i will be buying a new amp as well.

Its been a while so i forget the good brands and the sleepers but here's what ive been thinking about so far:

Kicker L5

Diamond D6

Fi Q

Here's what i want in a nutshell:

2 12"

~1000w

Prefer less than 5 cubes ported

~$300

If you guys recommend any of the above subs or have other ideas please by all means let me know im VERY open to different ideas. I know theres brands like Memphis and DD etc... but i just dont know their subs. Thanks for input.

if you get yourself a nice 2k watt amp on the 15" SX i'm sure you will like it more. 2 12's sealed probably aren't going to get louder than that SX ported on 2k watts.

yah i agree but the sx isn't new, its got a tear in the surround and theres a low buzzing noise someone else on the forum has had a problem with. ive had it for a while and i dont feel like dealing with its problems or replacing it. i'd rather try something new. i would port the 2 12s as long as it would take less than 5 cubes. ill edit that, thanks
