I am open to any brand, but I have heard an MTX 12" 9500 and it hits very hard (online price $369) "leaning towards this if someone can tell me of one that is better" for the price and qualityUpload

You can get an X.X.X 12" for 400$ shipped I think. And the IDMAXs are under 400 I believe.

sx's are louder than xxx, but the sq on the xxx is crazy, and yeah an idmax would also be another great sub

From what I understand, the X.X.X and SX have about the same output, just that the X.X.X has much better SQ and more power handling.
If you want SPL, RE has their MT.
Trey, I didn't understand your 2nd question.
You could also go with the W7 from JL Audio, I believe Treo has some good subs, although I'm not familiar with them, the IDMAX from Image Dynamics, and right now I'm having a brain f@rt so everything else is escaping me... But I'll post as soon as I remember.

eclipse ti, adire brahma, re sx/xxx, idmax, AA avalanche[if you can find one], alpine type x, all would make great sql subs.

re audio specs all sizes
re 175 watts rms
se 600 watts rms
sx 1000 watts rms
xxx 1600 watts rms
mt 2500-? watts rms

and yes if both the sx and the xxx are given the same amount of power the sx will be louder, say like 1000 watts rms, but the xxx takes more so anymore wattage given the xxx will win, but the sq that the xxx puts out is amazing, but most people would be greatly appreciative to have 2 sx 12's

the sx will beat the mtx 9500 in sq, spl, and its more dependable and cheaper imo

an sq sub puts out great sound quality where as a spl sub gets loud with no regards to having sq

I honestly don't think an SX will beat a 9500 in SPL, but I agree with SQ and quality. JL's W7s are excellent SQL/SQ subs (SQL = a combo of SQ and SPL).
And yea, what Dustin said on different subs, all very good.
And when it comes to size, remember that the bigger you go, the more volume you're going to get with the same amount of power. If you're really looking for SPL, without regard to room for a box (the bigger the sub, generally, the bigger the box, esp if you're going ported).

well i'd go with a sx or ti cause i heared that the rest of the subs id mention like sealed boxes, but either one will offer good sq and get plenty loud enough for a daily driver.

Yes well i can get the sx for $220 shipped, and if i wanted down the road i would have spent that much money so i could put another 12 in suv. And I have heard the eclipse products and right now i am pretty much convinced RE is the way to go.
