Help With Future Sub Plans

[Dynasty 10+ year member]

My current sub is a single 12" Kicker CVR. It is getting 550 watts RMS. The box is a sealed Kicker pre fab. It is begining to lag in the SQ and SPL department. I want something that will sound noticably different in terms of SQ and SPL. I have the following subs in mind.

1) 2 12" AA Assassins (400 watts RMS each)

2) 2 12" Mach 5 MAW (400 watts RMS each)

3) 1 12" Alpine Type R (900 watts RMS)

4) 1 12" Diamond Audio D6 (900 watts RMS)

5) 1 12" Pioneer Premier TS-W3004SPL (900 watts RMS)

I want to be able to hear the difference in SQ and SPL from my current CVR.

What sub(s) should I go with? I am open to others too, but must be below $200.

well, if you dont mind lightly used, and 10/10 functionally and 9/10 cosmetically, i have some massive cw12's im letting go for 200 shipped, or 380 shipped for a pair. they sound good and get LOUD, VERY LOUD, an 146 was hit with one of these, i have four and was hitting 152+

i like choices 1 and 2.

maw will be louder assassin may sound better.

put either setup in a proper ported box and it will WAYYY outpound your current setup.

i know someone with a CVR 12 sealed getting 400W in a tiny car (probe), and i had two assassin 12's ported getting 400W each in a trunk (accord) and my setup was MUCH louder.

i like the idea of two 12's getting less power each over one sub with more power, but that's just me.

all of your options look good though. put any of them in a ported box and you will hear a big difference from your current setup //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks for your input. Didn't you used to have a dual Assassin setup?
