Which 12" sub for a single woofer set-up

I'm trying to decide which sub I want to use for a single 12" ported set up I've got about 720 watts rms to feed it. My choices are:

1) Fi Q

2) Ascendant Audio Chaos

3) Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection

4) Sun Down Sa-12

Right now I'm leaning toward the Ascendant Audio, but the IA and Sundown are both pretty tempting considering their prices. Will I notice any real output difference, because I'm trying to get as loud as I can with ~700 watts. Also is the Q really that much better than the others or is it just the brand name that makes it the most expensive. So anyone who has owned any of these please let me know your input.

And does anyone know where to purchase Ascendant Audio stuff?

 
I have worked with all subs listed. I would say to keep it fair you would have to ditch the LI and step a series with IA. The LI subs do very well, but are very limited as well. I do like the Fi Q sub, but the new SDC sub will be out this weekend(If all went well with the supplier). I know the new SDC 8" will be on display and in their car. The SA 12 is a great all around sub well and takes a good amount of power past rated. AA is always a great choice.

Personally I would have it between the Fi Q, the new SDC, SA 12, and AA I would really look at the SDC and SA12 options though.

 
That IA lethal injection looks pretty beastly, would the Fi Q be able to reach its potential on just 700 watts or would it need 1000+? And is the new SDC sub on their website, because I couldn't find any info on it. Also any one know of an AA distributor or website I can check out prices for their products?

Just to tack on a bit of information. Same guy does both Fi and AA, Fi is direct sales while AA is B&M stores.

 
The new sdc is coming out tomorrow at the show. As for the 187 ings real 700 watts daily. I don't see it. I have built many setups with them and the Li subs and they did sound decent but "beef" is not a word that comes to mind when talking about those model lines.
