A single 5102SPL might have trouble taking the full brunt of the DD Z2.

What were the others you were considering?

Even 3kw is some serious grunt for a single 12" sub on daily use. For SPL I wouldn't be scared at all with that kind of power level but for daily you'd wanna make sure you get the enclosure spot on to make the most of your power handling, both thermal and mechanical.

just my 2c

agreed,

i was also looking at 2 12s, maybe 9512gs, dc level 5, fi btls,

just not really sure what would be best?

or again 1 beefy 18?

Out of the subs you metioned the 9512's are going to be the best choice available.
