Loud Setup

[Ferrari488]

Hey guys I'm looking to run 2 12" and trying to have the loudest setup I can. I have a few woofers in mind all within the same power range and have a custom built box. I can build a new one if I need to. The box I have is a single chamber 3.5 cubic feet net volume tuned to 34 hertz and will play down to 28 hertz with 36.25 sq in of port area. The subs below are the one I have in mind so please let me know what you think will hit the hardest or if I should make a new box. Im pretty sure all the subs below will with except the W6 which might need a little smaller ported box.

x2 Sundown SA (750RMS per woofer)

x2 Alpine Type R (750RMS per woofer)

x2 JL Audio W7 (750RMS per woofer)

x2 JL Audio W6 (600RMS per woofer)

If you can get the W7s for cheaper than retail then id go that route. But the best bang for your buck is most likely the SAs on 2k

So W7s will be louder than the Sa's?

w6 and w7 will sound better but they wont be louder by no means.

I havent heard the w6 or w7s in person but have heard the W3s. How much louder will the Sundown SA's be than the W6 or W7?

Sundown SA's out of those listed, imo

Would the W7 be 2nd on the list? And the SA's would be the loudest of thm all but the W7 will not be as loud as the SA's but have better SQ? Also the W6 will have the best SQ out of them all but wont be loud like the SA's or even the W7?

For the price of a W7, you can get a monster sub that will get crazy loud. JL and loud dont belong in the same sentence.

1500rms max. Maybe 2000 but that won't be until further down the road like 2 to 3 years.

Budget?

If I can get a w7 I'm sure that's the most I'd spend so say 1200
