Need help on picking subs

[BassHead99 10+ year member]

I've been looking to upgrade my substage for a while now but I'm having trouble on deciding what to get. I know I want at least 15s maybe some 18s if there are some that would suit my needs. I want something along the lines of an SQL setup. Right now I have 2 12" L7s but I want to go louder and maybe get a little more sq. I've got 2000 watts to work with and plenty of space. What would you guys recommend for around $500-600 for a pair?

If you have the space, 2 Fi Q 18's.

Have you considered 4 12"s?

That's what I was originally thinking.

I was kind of wanting to shy away from the brands that most people have heard of i.e. kicker, alpine, etc. I am still pretty new to most of this myself though. I was trying to look into HDC, Fi, and so on.

audioque HDC's is what i would do. I've never used them, but i've only heard good things

a single AQ 15 or 18 would do great if you dont mind waiting for the next shipment to get here in a few weeks

I didnt know audioque made an 18.

I was thinking maybe 2 15" HDC3s in about a 9-10 cu ft. box tuned to what? I want it to hammer the lows.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I've done a install with these once or twice... http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=227

Or for $10 more each sub, you could go with the 4 15"s... That would have some pretty nice SQ and move some air for sure.
