Looking for SQ/SQL set-up help me pick!!

[jerlandson92]

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum and was looking for some advice.

OK, some background info first. I have a 2002 Lincoln LS. Currently I have a 12" MTX 9500 powered by a MTX TA7801. The amp is capable (according to the birth sheet) of 1593 @ 1 ohm. So I am looking for a set-up that will be at a 1 ohm load to get the most out of my amp. I am currently running the 9500 on a 2 ohm load since its a dual 4. Unfortunately, when I first installed the sub, I forgot to secure the box, so needless to say it slid forward, right into my amp. It put a nasty crease in the rubber lip/surround and even a tiny little hole, so it is not performing anywhere close to what it should although it does still beat a little.

That being said, I want something that has really good SQ and can hit low and still thump (like the 9500 is capable of). My trunk is not terribly big, and if I remember correctly I have a 13" height limit for the box. I have considered a few options, here they are in no particular order:

2 10" MTX 8500

2 10" IDQ

1 IDMAX, can't decide what size

2 RE ***

3 8" jlw7

Also, I wanted to keep whatever I choose in the 500-600 dollar range. Any opinions on which of these set-ups would be the best would be greatly appreciated! Plus I am open to suggestions, so fire away.

Thanks!
