I am planning to order a new 15" soon and I am not quite decided on what i want, i talked to a few people and did my own research, and was wondering what anyones opinions on the following companies are.

AQ Hcd3 - $269 - $330, and what is the difference in coils?

SSA Icon - $295

Fi Q loaded - $324

FI BL loaded - $320

AA Havoc - $340?

One of these 15"s will be going in an est 4.5 cuft box tuend to 33-34 Run off a sae-1200d or a AQ1200d
I am looking for good low end support, with pretty good sound quality but still gets loud. I had a Loaded SSD running off of a kicker zx100.1 before and i am looking to get louder and have better SQ.

I have heard good things about the Q, and i am considering it highly, but i was kind of thinking of brands outside of Fi just to see what else is out there too and get feed back on it, The Q is high on my list thouhg.

My budget is around $350-450ish shipped for a woofer. I am leaning more toward toward the sae for my amp, but im debating on weather getting fact. refurb for $250 or waiting and saving and buying an $300 sae or $400 sax new. But im not sure what the difference in the two is. Also another option for a woofer i over looked was the DC Sound Labs Level 3 or 4. I have no experience with this sub so i was wondering if anyone has used these.

the lv 3 will have great sq with a good bottom end but will be best on 1k in 3cf box or run it sealed for optimal sq

Since the original post was made, the 2010 Icon's were released and their price dropped.
