Grrr... didn't order yet, still throwing up options here

I have a $1,500 - $2,000 budget going on still and here are my options:
XXX 15" with ZRS-9
Avalanche 15" with NiNE.1
or wait for the Brahma 15" with a ZRS-8

I'm having trouble deciding and I really don't want to wait until sometime in March or even later for the Brahma's to become available again. What would all of you honestly and truely do. I'm looking for some major SQL. I want this shit to get loud, but keep SQ. I'm just not keen on the inefficiency of the XXX, requiring a ton of power, which will cost me money for electrical upgrades (mainly alt upgrade, which is expensive in its own right).

I figured by the end of February I'll have about $1800 - $2000 to spend on whatever, including the $520 I have in my checking right now which is about to buy my XXX 15" unless there are better options out for me right now, because I repeat again, the Brahma on backorder is seriously killing me here, such a great budget sub (in my eyes) because it needs such little power.

Reading up more, with my desire for eardrum blowing loudness but with high SQ as well, the XXX is my only bet. I'll have to suck it up and get a 2000w amp. Oh well. I overslept today so I didn't get around to ordering the XXX. I was also late for work and got my second write-up. I can't be late anymore! My dreams of car audio amongst other material possessions will be washed away.

Re: Grrr... didn't order yet, still throwing up options here

hit up djdilliodon on AIM for your amp. as far as subs go. XXX has the potential to be the loudest out of the three. The Avalanche would be the most efficient. Hmmm... i think the audioque HD series is something else you night wanna check out...... If magnums were out I'd say get some but they're not....... FYI audioque is made my resonance (NOT re) the same buildhouse for DD subs. These are made more so for daily use compare DD's. the HD i think does about 32mm one way and is good off of 1500 watts or so. It definately needs ported sealed is not an option....... ummmm I dunno I say port the hell out of an xxx w. 2kw and you should be wangin

I ordered the XXX 15" at 12:35 PM Central. There's no turning back. $435 that I'm hoping will be well spent.
