which of these 12" subs would you suggest for a sealed enclosure running off of a SOUNDSTREAM XTA600.2

A Diamond Audio M6MKII12D2 $170

SOUNDSTREAM VAN GOGH VGW-12 $135

Kicker S12L7 $145

...or another sub for around $150

The Diamond above all. The L7 has terrible SQ and shouldn't be put in a sealed box.

What on earth are you talking about? If you want SQ out of the L7, don't put it in anything BUT a sealed box. It's a high Q driver, and really not that well suited for vented use for a musical application.

They can sound quite good in a sealed box.

The Diamond isn't going to sound "clearly better" than the L7, either. When competently installed, they are going to have extremely similar levels of output and distortion, as is rather clearly dictated by the two designs.
