I CANT CHOOSE! Dual 12 questions... :/

[shiznid12 10+ year member]

So...... I am having issues picking out a pair of 12's. They will be getting 500-600w RMS from... maybe an aq1200. Unsure on the amp, but 1200 watts is what i've been thinking.

Unfortunately, I can choose a lot of subs.

Alpine Type R's

IA 187's

AQ SDC2's

WHAT DO I CHOOSE AND WHY?

I am looking for loudness. SQ would be nice, but I prefer loudness.

Budget?

Sdc's because I've also ran Type R's, I just don't like the Type R sound. I'd rather run 2 RE *** over the R. I don't know about the the 187, but on paper I don't see how it compete with the others. Maybe it's underrated, but I don't like pushing a sub 300 plus over the rms.

DC Audio Level 4 12" D2 or a Level 5 without the SPL upgrade. Great SQ in the right box and loud as shit.

With only 1200 watts, i'm not buying the Level 5... and I don't want just one level 4, that's outta my price range.

Obviously with the subs I listed, I want a sub around that price range. Say, 300-350 a pair? I'm okay with less too, but not over 350.

2 Level 4 12's or 2 level 3 12's are within that range. I paid $200 for my mint level 4 15" shipped.

Doesn't have the power for two level 4's. He needs something 600rms ea or less.

Level 3's could work. Decent SQL woofers. No problem with them.

My vote's for Type R's....

CVX's would be a good pick as well, seriously!....if you could get them in your budget...

Not the biggest fan of CVX's for anything besides making a trunk rattle. Type-R's are just fine if that's what floats your boat, though. Lacking in the SQ department. But they (especially newer versions) move air pretty well.

Let us know what you think. A lot will come down to enclosure. So make sure it has plenty of port, is relatively efficient, and is sealed up tight. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Lag ftl.

May just go with the Subtilis.. plus, I kill two birds with one stone by getting the subs and box at the same time. Now I just need a good 1200w amp and i'm set.
