Christmas Help ( has something to do with car audio)

hey guys, its been a while since I posted here but anyway I got asked today what I want for Christmas and well I have $150-$200Cad to spend on car audio.

My current system consists of:

Sony Cdx-Gt610U headunit
Phoenix Gold Rsd 5.25 Components
Phoenix Gold Rsd 6.5 Coaxials in rear
Power Acoustik Ov4-600 amp for components and rears
Lanzar Vibe1800D Mono block
2 10inch Mach 5 Audio Maw-10 subs ported to 30Hz

Okay now with that being said, I figured maybe going with a single 12 setup sealed or ported which ever the sub prefers. I have tested a few subs which include: Kenwood KFC-W3011, Insignia lol I know, Kicker CVR, Rockford P2, Infinity Reference, MTX the red cone model and Jl Audio W1. There are a few subs that I would like to test out but either don't have the time or arn't sold locally which are: Mach 5 Maw 12 I have some experiece since I own the 10 inch version, Phoenix Gold Rsd 12, Elevation Audio Comp 12, ect.

Well my subwoofer amps specs are:

400watts Rms @4ohms
800watts Rms @2ohms
1000watts Rms @1.3ohms

please help me choose or through some recommendations my way of some different subs or if you think I should change something else in my setup. I would prefer buying local since I have to send my family member out to purchase since my parents are all about hiding the gifts lol. Local company sells: Jl, Kicker, Pioneer, Kenwood, JBL, Sony, Phoenix Gold, Infinity, Alpine and Total Mobile Audio.

Overall goal is: SQL

Thank you

Budget is: $150-$200

It appears you still want big output so switching from two 10's to a single 12 would be a step in the wrong direction.

There doesn't look to be any gleaming holes in your setup but if there's something you don't like I would suggest the money goes in that direction.

Thank you for the reply. I am really wanting to go from big output to something that will just blend in with my mids and won't be very overpowering and a single sub setup seems to be the best way. Unless I build a sealed enclosure for the 2 10's I currently have and see how that goes. I do listen to rap and some occasional alternative so I thought the single 12 would still give my great output with the Sq that I am looking for.
