Time for a new sub, need help from ppl with hands on experience.

Alright guys and gals, I have been on the quest to find the "Perfect" subwoofer that fit my taste for about 4 years now. I have gone through couple of speakers during that time...15AE, HX2, W6V2, OZ MATRIX, D6, H2, TC-9. I am trying to end my quest with a 15" that will be great in a ported box, and can take around 1500rms. So with that said, I have been researching quite a bit and read alot of reviews from different websites. I went around to my local audio shops and demoed couple of different drivers too. Here is the list that I have came up with:

JBL WGTI MKII

Diamond D9

Crystal CMPX2

TC-2000

FI Q

There could be more subs on the list, but because of me having a budget of $350, this is all I could come up with. I know SQ is subjective, so I guess I am forced to ask about the SPL side...which would be the loudest given my situation?. But again, I am not looking for a all out SPL driver, it will have to sound great while being able to get loud and low at the same time.

I got the tc-2000 up there, so the rlp is not on the list.

I had a mag, one of my favorite subs. it gets loud too. haven't heard the Q, but everyone seems to think they are very similar.

I have a pair of Fi Q 12's ported and love them. I traded my pair of TDX 12's for them. They would be my recommendation. Do you have a budget in mind?
