Replacement 12's

[Ko-B 10+ year member]

I recently had two Infinity Kappa 120.3se subs. I had them bridged two a Rockford 550x 4-channel amp. I blew one a few months ago and the other finally died a few days ago. So now I'm looking at a few possibilities:

1) Kicker Comp VR 05CVR122

2) Pioneer TS-W306C

3) Infinity Reference 1240w

4) MTX ThunderT5512-04

Any Suggestions?

I'm looking for more SPL than SQ because I plan on replacing them with something better next year. I got the specs for each woofer and did a little math to calculate the efficiency with this equation I got from the Adire website:

The Pioneers are the most efficient according to this formula, but I wanted to know what anyone has to say about there own personal experiences with any of em. And if you have any suggestions please tell me why. Thanx.

Oh yeah. They would be going in a 1ft^3 sealed box.

If you are just going to replace them in a year, get the infinity's, they are buy one get one free from crutchfield.
