Need help finding a solid pair of SPL/SQ 12's

[Rmjimbob 10+ year member]

I'm looking to put a pair of 12's into my extend cab truck. The problem is space is limited under the rear seat. To optimize this space I have fiber-glassed the two boxes. This still only leaves .85 cubic ft and a 7 inch (maybe 7.5") mounting depth.

I'm looking for subs in the $200 range each. Both SPL and SQ are important to me but I might favor SPL a bit. Any way I was leaning toward the Infinity Kappa Perfect 12 VQ but they were discontinued (stupid Infinity). I have sense been looking into RE audio SEx12D2....

Any ideas would be great and any one that thinks the Infinity's maybe not have been the best choice would help me sleep at night.

Also I don't have an amp yet because I was going to fit the amp to the subs any amp ideas to match would be great too.

So to me the DC level 3's, Audiopulse EPD212, and Fi SSD12 all seem to fit the bill. Can someone tell me why one might be better than the next or what the pros and cons may be?

Sundown SA-12's, IA Lethal Injections, Fi SSD, or DC Level 3...can't go wrong either of these choices.

So Fi SSD or DC level 3 ? I still haven't seen a price on the level threes so maybe that will be the deciding factor.
