Help me choose subs for a SQ setup around 1000W RMS

Hi, so I have been posting lately on choosing subs for my first setup. I now have a Kicker ZX1500. I am trying to decide between some of the following subs for a SQ (most important) setup that will also have nice punch. These are some of the subs I have in mind for my amp and budget.

2 SA-12's

1 12" SSA XCON

1 15" RE SXX

1 FI Q 15" or 18"

Which one of these setups is gonna be superior in SQ and be able to reach more midtones? The one advantage of getting either a Fi or the SSA XCON is I will have about $100 more (around $250 total) to spend on good speakers/speaker amp for my system. If I go with the RE SXX or the SA-12's my speaker budget will be around $150.

Thanks!

My vote is for the Xcon.

2nd choice Probably the Fi Q, but u wanna reach up into midtones and Fi Q's from my experience stay low.

Never heard that RE sub.

and SA subs sound very nice but I wouldnt use them for an SQ setup.

Thanks! Well, what would be the best compromise of SQ and SPL...either a 12" SSA XCON or a 15" Fi Q? I am leaning towards those ones because they are made in the U.S. I was reading a review of the Fi Q, and it was quite generous with the complements...according the the reviewer it will handle up to about 60hz clean. Not sure if the SSA can do better?
