Mach 5 SPL vs. AQ HDC3

Both 12's, not sure what to get, i wanted a DD9512 but cant come up with that kind of money. Looking for SPL, not too worried about SQ, as long as it is bearable.

Or if you have any other subs. Looking to stay under 400. I could do used as well.

Or i could do a HCCA 12.2

The only down side is that i planned on running on a IA 20.1 so if i could wire under 1ohm that would be better. But i could run a different amp too i guess. Stetsom or st.

How much u have to spend

I would like to stay under 400. As stated above. I really dont wanna go much higher because ive got to buy an amp, etc. Im basically looking for a budget SPL sub. Which from what i hear, those two are pretty darn good. Ive heard the mach five is loud as hell even though it doesnt have much x-max. But ive also heard that the AQ is good too.
