what would be the best sub for this situation out of these subs?

[jsluss17 10+ year member]

going in a ported box around 1.7 cubic feet maybe a little bigger and being powered off a kicker dx1000.1.

ssa icon 12

ascendant audio chaos 12

incriminator audio death row 12

skar vvx 12

fi q/bl

or any other suggestions are welcomed. it's either going to be a 12 or two 8's which would probably be the sundown sa-8 v2s but not sure yet. already had a sundown 12 with that amp and box size and want to try something new. also i may get a bigger amp in the future but not too much bigger

mainly to get really low i like the lows. but also id like to be able to get pretty loud like as loud as the sundown was if i can and a little better sound quality than it too

the sa8v2s love the lows, trust me man, they kill the lows for 8s

yeah i've been really wanting to try those out plus idk anyone with 2 8's so i'd be original as fuck in my area and then impress everyone when they're 8s. its going in a mustang btw so it doesn't take much to get loud

how do you think 2 would sound running off 500 watts each? i'm hoping to maybe upgrade that later but idk yet

there all good subs, really just comes down to what you want more, a single sub setup or a pair, but i highly recommend the sa8v2s, there rated at 500wrms

look at the dc subs too

SSA ICON. Kick myself everyday for selling it a few years back...mine was a first gen too, so I'm sure they improved even more since then. The Icon sounds basically the same as my 12" SI Mag Claw, only think the Icon is a tad louder.

I also recommend Obsidian Audio, the 12" will handle 1000wrms if you know what your doing. For $162 shipped you cannot go wrong, heck why not get two of em lol. Beautifully built and sounds clean, loud, and low. I have mine a 2.1cuft @ 33hz w/ 4" Aero and love it.

Is that after displacements? If its after either a Skar or a DC...

it's before displacement but i could probably get a bigger box in there somehow i just have a tiny mustang trunk. i'm kind of leaning towards the sa 8 v2s right now or the icon. or another thought was one sa 8 v2 in a tline box but idk how all of these would compare to each other
