So with my EQ having a professional tune it wont be a prob right?
Those Subs Manufactures SlickRick mentioned will do the job. If I want to hit over 130db's it is possible with the proper amp which would be the next step.
I think I'm covered as far as Drivers go. I think finding an amp that's flexible enough to give the driver enough mid to low bass at it's optimum would be nice and not overated.

dual spiders simply means they the sub uses 2 spiders instead of 1. it suppose to help keep the cone linear at high excursion levels. but Dan Wiggins at Adire Audio made a comment stating using more than 1 spiders isn't always the best option. More is not always better.
XBL2 is adire's trademark motor technology. want more info? here's a good read from the man himself.

(but my current sub amp puts a lot more than 300 watts

130db can be achieved so easily. I am unaware of what you want from your system. you tell stories of 4 18's and you want high spl from inaudible levels to barely audioble levels, then want a system that can hit in thr 130's?

)Ok give me a speaker that will take me up toward 160db's plus all day long.
Will the 2 Mag D2's accomplish this? Or the XXX's? RE's?
Basically guys I want the Best I have the money to spend I want to be able to go to a DB show if I want and hit over 160db's...

Difference between XBL and new coil technologies?
1. Power handling: LMT, Split Coil, XBL²
2. Stroke: 3 way tie
3. Scalable from tweeters to big woofers: XBL², Split Coil, LMT
4. Low moving mass: XBL², Split Coil, LMT
5. Low inductance: XBL², Split Coil, LMT
6. Accepts shorting rings easily: XBL² Split Coil/LMT (tie)
7. Tolerance to winding errors: XBL², LMT, Split Coil
8. Motor Size: XBL², Split Coil, LMT
9. Flux Usage Efficiency: XBL², LMT, Split Coil
10. Production Cost: XBL², Split Coil, LMT
11. Production Ease (need to change production methods): XBL², Split Coil, LMT

Do you want to have a heart attack? There are cheaper ways to do that.....
160dbs for everyday driving is overkill not to mention that you're going to need insane amounts of power and air movement to accomplish that. I bet you'll be happy with something like 140db.

nah but yeah I don't really know what 160db's sounds like but I know you can't sit in something that produces that high of a DB. I just want that option on tap when ever I want to...
Damn the RE series along with the XXX is tempting as well..

just do this. get a 15" xxx. build a BIG **** box, and have the port vented into the cabin via the rear deck. feed that thing ~1500 watts.
if that's not loud enough, then come back to us for more options.

So that's why I'm here and trying to see what's out there before next week, so I don't sound like a fool at the shop.

140 is PLENTY loud IMO...

Its not even the equipment that would be uber expensive it would be primarily the power to run the equipment.

He told me their's so many sub's out there he won't have an answer for me till next week. So I'm trying to get some ideas here.
Well hell if you blindly hand out close to $2K you should be shopping with me.
At least you know for the most part youll be getting upper shelf equipment.
