None are major SPL subs, but I would say the loudest and alround best sub in your list would be the XXX. You have lots of power so you could make it pretty loud.

Not enough space for two CompVR12's ported (don't bother sealing them if you want it loud).

I wouldn't give the S15L7 that much power daily. Plus it really isn't enough airspace for it to shine.

1600rms is getting to the max for the SX in daily applications and with this much power the XXX is catching it in SPL numbers (anything less and the SX will be louder on the mic).

Single Orion H2 will work in smaller enclosures than the XXX.

I would suggest either the Orion H2 or the RE XXX for a loud daily setup. With the airspace you have the H2 will likely get louder and still sound excellent for daily.

I've actually heard quite a bit of Orion H2 horror stories about them blowing and stuff. are they really prone to blowing or malfunctioning quite easily?
