What subs for this budget/space??

[RCobra07 10+ year member]

Requirements:

1. I want either 12's or 15's. Don't care about quanity...2,4,6, whatever, as long as it fits in budget and size constraints. Would even be open to possibly a single 15" if I knew it would be rediculous.
    
   
2. Need a 1-ohm load.
    
   
3. $500-600 budget for subs (I know it isn't much, but it's what I have...the lower the better and $600 is absolute max)
    
   
4. Air space...need 9 cu.ft. or less TOTAL exterior. If you have suggestions for 5-6 cu.ft. total exterior, would love to see those even more!!
    
   
5. Prefer ported enclosure.
    
   
6. Power will be a Crunch GP3000D-Pro.
   

History: Had same amp on 2 15" RE Audio SE15D4's @ 1 ohm final load. They went to sub heaven. In retrospect, I know this is a lot of amp for those subs, but I think some late nights of crappy quality mp3 CD's being played after a few drinks weighed heavily into this:emb:. They were in a sealed enclosure with 4 cu.ft. net air space and back-firing in an '06 Dodge Durango. They were pretty loud, but not crazy. In fact, I think my 3 JL 12W3's off an Xtant X1001 in a '99 Cobra were louder. At the end of the day, I want something louder than either of these systems, yet would like some sound quality too. Not looking for competitions or anything, just something nice and loud for my daily driver.

I asked about this a while ago, but just wanted to give it one more shot before I make a purchase.

Thanks for any and all advice!!!

Thanks for all the suggetions!!

Anyone else got any additions?

Also, any thoughts/opinions on how 2 higher end 12's in a ported box would sound vs. the 2 RE SE15's I had in sealed?

Digital Designs DD2500's are my new favorites right now. They're awesome overall and can take a massive amount of power.

...Or Addictive Audio... lol

I have an Addictive Audio 15v4.

4k RMS 8 layer flat coil, 8 spiders, triple tinsels, 334oz magnet, would probably do the job... but it would be at the top of your budget.....

Either DC, Fi or AQ for the price
