i JUST recently started visiting termpro again...........now theres a big Resonant Engineering bandwagon, but DD still gets a lot of praise (i think its deserved).
the part i dont like about termpro is the large portion of teenage punks recommending and/or criticizing stuff theyve never even used. you just gotta filter their posts out.

I got the opportunity to hear the RE SE10, that little bugger was impressively loud, and i agree DD still deserves that amount of praise they get in the SPL arena, they kick some major ***!!! The thing that irritates me is that they think they are everything to everybody... i heard a 9515 D in a SQ setup and it sounded better than i was expecting, but it was nothing better than any average sub. I was a little used to the Brahma when i heard it, and the difference was HUGE.
In SPL the 9515 definatly kicks ***, but definatly not all things to all people.

ive heard a good install with the SQ series (9100 i think) with moderate power (500ish)..........sounded very very good.
DD component speakers can also sound beautiful...although expensive.

Image Dynamics makes really clean sounding subs.
I have an IDQ12 powered by a 300-watt Xtant amp and it sounds great. Hits hard and sounds really clean.
They have a better sub, a step up from mine, called the IDMAX. I imagine it'd be even better sounding.

Final choices:
-JBL P1220 $145
-Elemental Designs e12K.44 K series $135
-AudioQue LW Series $150
-Elemental Designs e12O.44 O series $175
Like I said before I want SQ rather than SLP, which of those subs (dual setup + 2 600RMS amps in 2 ohm mode) will sound better??? I will buy what you will choose
Thanks

basically i chose the audioque because it offers a bit more power handling and excursion capabilities than the O series, for slightly less money.
personally i think the ED is a classier looking speaker, but its not about looks, its about performance.
