I'm looking into a 1x12 speaker cabinet, smaller size, lighter weight, more mobile. I'm hoping to get close to the lows of a 2x15 cabinet without being muddy while giving me crisp clear highs. Im looking at an Eden D112XLT, a Mesa Boogie Scout Bass Radiator, and an Epifani UL2-112. Im looking for any thoughts on these cabinets as Im having a hard time coming to a decision.

Look into Genz Benz. I have their Neo 2x12 and it's fantastic - a lot of lows and very pleasant sounding highs.

The fEarful 12/6 goes low and hits hard for a 112. The Acme 112s go even lower, trading off some efficiency along the way.
That's a pretty tall order...but yeah, Duke's 4ohm Thunderchild 112 is about as close as you're going to get.
Of those three, I've only played the Eden and own two of them. It has none of the low end you're looking for. No mud, crisp highs but no low end.
I have the Mesa Radiator 12 and it has plenty of lows for you. It's a nicely built cab. Worthy of your time to plug in to one to see if you like the sound.
