Best 12" 300w sub?

Ok, I have 300w to work with, give me some options. I prefer sq over spl. I currently have a type-r 12, but I'm adding a second amp and 2nd sub, so now's the time to upgrade! Oh, and it has to be available in 2 ohm (either single 2 ohm or dual 4 ohm). I'm just trying to find some options.

I have a Infinity 1220W sub, it's 12" and takes 300W RMS. It's a decent sub.

I'm running an xtant 603x right now. I will also be adding an xtant 301a for a second sub in the near future, thats why i'm asking now before i buy another type-r. I dont get deals on them anymore, so nows as good a time as any to consider using a different sub.

Actually, they're $10 cheaper at ikesound.

I've been considering the idq too, but the cheapest I've found them is $199 at sounddomain. I don't have a dealer around here - that i know of at least, so would it be worth the extra $300 for them?
