I am currently running a new school Cerwin Vega Stroker DVC 2Ohms at 1200watts RMS at 1ohm with a Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D amp. It is time for an upgrade. I need more BASS!!! My options for upgrades are listed (Not including box and on a $300 budget):

Kicker 08DS12L52. (Dual 12" L5 Squares DVC 2ohms, 600watts RMS each. 88dB)(Includes Kicker Box)
Kicker DS12L52 (08DS12L52) Dual 12" Box with 2 Solo-Baric L5 Subs

RE Audio SXX15D2. (Single 15" DVC 2Ohms, 1000watts RMS. 90.4dB)
RE Audio SXX15D2 (SXX15-D2) 15" Dual 2 ohm Car Subwoofer

Kicker 07CVR152 - 2 pack (Dual 15" CVR DVC 2Ohms, 500 RMS each. 89.1dB)
Kicker 07CVR152 (07CVR-152) 15" Dual 2 ohm CompVR Subwoofer

Which one of these 3 subs will give me the most bass? I am looking for SQ with some SPL when needed. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for taking the time to help a fellow Bass Head out!

Asking for the most bass means you are looking for SPL with some SQ when needed, not the other way around.

The pair of 15" CVRs have the most cone area. Provided you can build the proper box, they should return the most output.

The Kicker L5's have a Kicker box. I would get a ported box for the single RE 15". I would get a sealed box for the 2 15" Kicker CVR's. Space is a problem since this is going in the trunk of a 95 Camry. I REALLY want a 18" but I don't think I will have enough space for that. I can get a Fi BTL 18" or an RE SX18D2 (Same as the 15" RE mentioned earlier but 18" instead of 15") for about $300 but space is really an issue. Suggestions? Hints? And also, for the 2 15" Kicker CVR's, is paying $50 extra for the DVC 4ohms worth it? Will I get more Bass with an extra 300watts RMS? (My amp puts out 900watts RMS at 2ohm).

Oh god ...

Get 2 12's or 1 powerful 15" in a nice ported box and call it a day.

You won't need to go bigger, nor can your Camry trunk handle it. Going to raddle like nuts.

Well let's say that I wanted as much bass as possible without the limitations of my car, which would be best? Right now I am kind of set on getting the 2 12" L5 Solo-Baric Kicker Squares.

When it comes to subwoofers, there's no "best" or "greatest" ... it's all opinionated and it all varies on so many things ... the power, the box, etc etc ...

12" L5's are 600 rms a piece ...
I have 2 10" SSA Icon's, they are 1250rms a piece, that's double what both your subs can handle in watts ...
Put mine in a shitty box or fire to the back (like I am right now) and seal yours off in a ported box, firing forward, YOU might have a better response than mine ...
More cone, better tuning, etc etc ...

And guess what. They have 3000watt subs that on my subs all day long ...

The minute you keep getting deeper and deeper into these industrial subs (so I call them), you would think that you lose the musicality that you were looking for ...

I mean, this can go on and on and on ... there's so many things you can do.
Best thing you can do, build a proper box for the subs you're going to purchase and get as much cone as possible. 2 15's, 2 12's ... 3 10's ... for lots of bass ...
Put proper power to it (try to match the subs, maybe a little more) and see how you like it ...

That's probably the best advice I can offer, someone who's spent thousands of dollars now (through the years) for seeking bass.

More inches of subwoofer cone usually helps in producing sound ... more surface to produce sound.
How can 10" of bass match 24" of bass, know what I mean?

IT CAN ... but that's another story lol

why not build a better box for the stroker ....
just a thought

With a PROPER box which would you guys think will sound the best? 2 12" Kicker L5 (New model) ? 2 12" Rockford Fosgate P3D4? 2 15" Kicker Cvr (Old Model with silver cone)? These will all be bought brand new. Or is it worth keeping the Stroker and building a better box for it?
