Looking for a new sub

[Autruche]

My friend is getting sick of all the losers at school buying Alpine. I told him we should blow them away with a single sub in his ride, from a brand that none of them know of. The only problem is that all of the subs I'd recommend are all ones I've never heard in person. I've narrowed it down to just a few brands, I just need to know what you think of them and what the average msrp is for them. we want either a single 15 or single 18, his current setup does 130 and he would like to see more than that with a single sub.

Audioque HDC3 - just wondering cuz I know they're priced decent.

T3 1000 - I know they're good, but how good?

DD 9500 - I see them all over, they must be doing something right.

DC Level 4 - They're everywhere, must be good.

Sundown Nightshade - I really don't know much about them.

Thanks for the help guys.

Well, it is going to be going in a Ford explorer (SUV) and we're looking into feeding it about 1500-2000 RMS. big 3 and all necessary electrical will be done. Also I'm looking into what kind of box to build for it... I'm thinking maybe a t-line, but I know nothing about them, I normally just build badass ported boxes.

130? um.

It's coming from 2 12"s in a neon seeing 1500. Of course it not from a TL so I can't say it's very accurate.

There's nothing wrong with type-r's (I actually love them, they are so easy to do a recone to or re solder the coils) but I don;t like the type-x, that and I'm just sick of it being the only thing everyone gets around here.

Well an RE, an AA, or a FI are obvious choices, but I just put a BTL 15 in a car, and an SSD 12 in another car. I know a dude with an RE, and no clue about AA, but my friend wanted to go with something no one else in our small craptown has, lol. We just need to get some prices and opinions before we decide. We're not looking at an SPL machine or a hair-trick monster, we just want to bump it a bit louder than others, with ease.

It's only cuz it's available at Best Buy LOL. I like their HUs, but I'm a big believer in the Cadence brand, me and my friend have amps and he has the subs by them and they are comp grade and beat HARD. That's my opinion. GL with it tho!

2 RE 12D4s + 1000 RMS will out bump a little boys alpine anyday (unless ur talkin bout alpine 15s lol) and 1000 RMS is under powering them... 1500 watts and you'll be straight. I know my set-up (in my sig) beats my friends 2 sony 12s and another friends 2 alpine 12s easy.
