Which would you choose?

Looking for some input, I'm sick of constantly buying/reselling equipment, I want to settle down, stick with one set up... maybe have a few kids...

My goals? Looking to move a LOT of air, still sound good, and be loud. All I'm aiming for is to crush my 18" Q I had off an SAZ1500 in 6.5 @ 34.

I want something with the SQ of the Q, louder, and the ability to move more air.

I'm working with a Massive 3000 for power, so 2700ish @ 2 ohms.

This will be going in the back of a Blazer, I have about 9-10 cubes to work with, no walls/boxes blocking my rear view.

Currently considering two MJ18M's or an 18" BTL. Looking to keep the budget around $450, lower is better.

Seems like FI is dominating, more people vote. I want to make up my mind this weekend. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I'm not sure the BTL will sound better than the Q? What about some 15'' Nightshades?

Not necessarily looking for it to sound better, but around the same. Just not as bad as say, a Type R.

Wouldn't mind trying a Nightshade, but I don't believe I'd find one in my price range.

I'd vote HDC's, but that's over budget. Mine sound as good or better then the Q in the GF's car and get LOUD.

2 15" SDC2.5's would keep you under budget.

If I had to choose between the 2 I would go with Mach 5.

I was considering an 18" HDC as well, are you running copper or aluminum coils?
