First off the Q is not an infinite baffle that would be the IB3. The Q is geared towards SQ and is not what many people are looking for even though they think they are. The SSD can be in sealed and ported enclosures and is a good daily driver sub. The BL is made for a ported box only so you have to have the room for one. If you are looking for the loudest out of the 3 then it would be the BL.

Please give us more information so we can tell you what sub to get. Tell us what kind of music you listen to, previous setups or heard setups and what you enjoyed or disliked about them, and what your budget and the room you have available is. You will get a lot more responses and people won't have to guess what the best would be for you if you can give us a little more information to work with.

Right now I have 2 12" kicker cvrs in a potted box powered by a 1000watt kenwood. Listen to mostly rap bc I love the bass.. I want to get some better subs.. Need to do the big 3 and get a new battery. Not worried about budget right now ill pay what I hav to for quality

Well 2-12"s or 1-15" ported in its recommended enclosure will be louder than 2-15"s in a smaller than recommended box. First measure your trunk and remember to leave room for amps, batteries and air flow around your box unless your firing subs and port forward (sealing the trunk off from the cabin).

2- 12's or 1-15 both ported will be your options in that car. The 15" BL will be able to fit a box in there but it will have to have the sub firing up. Have you done any electrical upgrades or do you plan on doing any? Im sure you will be pleased with a 15" BL on 1000 watts and has a good chance of being louder than the CVRs if put in a proper enclosure.

Firing up means the sub's cone faces upward.

Eventually I want to get a ho alt and maybe an extra batery and put some money into a badass amp to put the sub near it's peak but as of now I'm jus tryin to lay den ideas.. So I plan on get one 15" fi bl or ssd and a box tuned to 33 or so? Ported.. I like the idea of havin one sub that puts out more bass then two but I'm a lil skeptical about it lol.. But my cvrs are 400 Rms and bls are 1000 I believe so ya that's a whole he'll of a lot more

hey if you're planning on that and don't mind paying a little extra...... Ever though about a btl? it will be louder than the bl even on 1000 watts, and later down the road when you upgrade your electrical you can get a much bigger amp to put on it.

Make sure to save your money and wait until you have the cash for the goods, (not saying you won't).

Get yourself a Grade A sub and amp, and you'll be happy you did.

In the mean time, if SPL you seek, build a bigger ported box.
