SQ and SPL subs plz

[killdevil fox 10+ year member]

What would be the best choice for a sub with high sq but competition-level spl? If not that, what are some good deals on SQ subs and can I toggle them with a stroker I want to get?

SQ subs - Partsexpress is selling Dayton RS HO and HF 12" on sale for around $115. Best SQ subs available for the money PERIOD. Another bonus is that the HO subs also only require VERY SMALL boxes for their size. If you don't need to compete just get 2 or 3 12s and port it tuned prettty low. Should get plenty loud enough for daily listening with excellent SQ.

Yup!

i have always heard that the 10" version is "better" though.

Get a W7 or the new SI mag if you want "a sub with high sq but competition-level spl"

Those soundstream are an ok deal but 2 10" is not comp level SPL subs by any means.

15" CVR or something with some cone area that will still sound good, Mach 5 audio MAw or MJ series for your budget.

I think the new Si mags are going to be more SQ oriented with lower power handling. Probably will get loud but not "competition level spl."

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
