Best SQL Woofers?

So I currently have a 1cuf sealed enclosure with 2 10's. They hit plenty hard enough for me, but the SQ is to be desired. For prolonged bass notes in hip-hop, they sound great, but I listen to quite a bit of EDM; music that contains many fast, short, repeated bass notes, where SQ, or lack thereof, can really be heard. I'm looking for a 10" sub to run off of 1100 watts, that will do well in a 1cuf sealed enlcosure, that sounds really good. For me, output comes second but still important. For example, I don't think I'd be interested in something like the IDMAX considering it can only take like 500watts. Any recommendations?
I was looking at the SSA Icon. I think it would be perfect but they currently don't have it in 10".

Was also looking at some of FI's sub's like the SSD Neo. I remember people saying those subs are quite impressive. Not sure which ones in their lineup are more SQL oriented though.

I didn't mean to convey that my subs don't sound tight or accurate. I simply don't like the SQ that they produce.

Oh my mistake, then maybe these are a good contender.

I feel like you experts always love to over-analyze haha, no offense (I know yall are very knowledgable). That said, I understand that all of the things you are mentioning can very well affect SQ but at the end of the day, the largest determining factor of SQ to my understanding is quite simply the sub itself, followed by the enclosure that it's in. Would you really disagree? If I told you had a p.o.s $70 sub in there and complained of it not sounding good, are you really gonna say it has to do with everything but the sub itself? Prob not. Granted, my subs weren't that cheap, but at the end of the day, I really think my lack of SQ boils down to the sub itself and the overly small enclosure that it's in, maybe even more so the enclosure than the sub itself - Which is why I think it will be wiser to just run 1, slightly more powerful sub.
