Which one will sound the best in a ported enclosure? get the loudest ? Sound the cleanest ?

IT will get around 1000 watts of clean power.

Any other subs around the price range that can compete ?

Right now i can get a obsidian 15 for 190 sa-15 for 235. american bass xfl for 215

Well the sa15 doesnt really fit the list while its a great sub that will hamdle 1000rns cleanly ..it only has a 2.5" coil vs the oa and ab...pick which one you like best in a nice custom box ....they willl be audibly indifferent

So if i gave the obsidian and the american bass 1000 watts in the perfect ported box it will be just as loud ??

The obsidian 15 has a 2.5" coil too. The xfl is the only one with a 3" coil

 
U positive? Im pretty sure the new obsidian. is 3"
I'm not 100% about the v2 about to be released

i'd go OA just because of the cosmetic appearance //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suave.gif.858fc102f7646e678ee8af7e1fbc41d1.gif
Cosmetic ?? was so cosmetically awesome about the oa ? its a plain azz black sub with a yelkow decal lol

 
OAs use 2.5" VCs. Even the 18s. V2s have better cooling. The coil in my OAs actually say sundown audio on them.

I would run the american bass out of the 3 running on 1000 rms.
