Default Needed advice for system

I have a quick question i have an alphasonik pma1000da amp thats 1000w@4ohms rmsx1 1500 rms @2ohms 2000rms@1ohm , its not some cheap amp either it was 550. so i know it bumbs. I want to put some mean *** bass in my 95 integ 2dr , my question is what is the best sub, i would either want to run a w7 mono, mtx 9500, diamond audio tdx12 or three alphasonik 400 series(all of these are 12") i have read alot about them but seem to find to many conflicting interest. alot of people like the w7 but its so damn expensive other people like the mtx, and other people say that diamond is bar none the best, then i look at having three 12's and know it would bumb so any info would be great thanks.

I have installed both the JL and the MTX subs, and although IMO the JLs are a better sub, I have not found anything wrong with the MTXs.
Don't forget that sub bass is very dependent on the box, not just what kind of box, but how the box is constructed, and with the kind of power, [watts] you are running, [I would want to see a spec sheet for that amp, and it is not available at http://www.alphasonik.com, and no spec sheet almost always means the watts given are peak not RMS] you will need a very well built box.
You will get a lot of opinions on what are the best subs, and there are huge diff. in the quality and performance of subs, [even within brands] I would suggest the you go to your local car audio shops, [bring along some of your fave tunes] and have a listen, now before everyone jumps in and reminds me that they will sound diff. in your car, well DAAAAA. Listening to any speaker in a demo board or subs in a box running off a demo board will not sound the same as the same when they are in your car, but one thing is for sure, if installed properly, the will sound a lot better in your car. 94

I have a MTX 15 9500 powered by a mtx 1501D and a 10 farad capacitor - the sub is bad-***.....I've heard the JL Audio W7s....I don't like them. BUT - a lot of 'white guys' like them.....i guess it just depends on your taste. I play a lot of eight-ball and MJG....if you know their stuff, the bass notes are totally different from other things. Try to find someone who has both so YOU can do a comparison. I think the MTX sub gets louder, but maybe the system I heard wasn't powered right....it all depends on your budget. Check out that MTXaudio.com/smoked video

I get most of my info form onlinecarstereo.com they have all of the stuff im looking at and after talking to some guys at the car audio shop i think three 12's is the way to go. They say the w7 is nice but to much to mtx 9500 is a great sub but three of the alphasonik 12's in a custom box would sound bad *** and its a little cheaper.
