Opinions please....

I'm getting closer and closer to finishing off my front stage and now I'm starting to think about what I should do as far as subs go. I have a few ideas, some being more expensive than others. I have about 4.5c/ft that I want to use up for subs and I'm looking for subs that have a very good amount of SQ and decent power handling. I'm planning on running 2500-3000wrms and I'm hoping to get some good cone area in a small space. So here's the choices but I'm open to any other options.

1) Keep it simple with a Nightshade 15 or 18 ported.

2) One PSI Platform 2 15" or 18" with 2 15" or 18" Passive Radiators.

3) Two PSI Platform 1 15's with 2 15" Passive Radiators (if they'd fit).

I don't know how to make a poll or feel like figuring it out but any opinions or other options are appreciated.

Those are strictly SPL subs though. I'm looking for really good SQ along with good power handling. I know it's hard to get those 2 things together but I'd like to get as close as possible. The Nightshade I've read sounds pretty good and the PSI's I know I can have custom built to sound pretty good.

Just curious why do you want passive? Also why 15" or 18"? The arent known for SQ nor can they keep up with most media? Whats your budget?
