Thinking of getting new subs. Ideas?

I have a kicker solo-baric 15 currently but am thinking of changing it out for 2 12s. the amp i am running is this
Jbl GTO14001 Mono Car Subwoofer Amplifier Car Amplifiers GTO 14001 car auto audio amplifier amp power channel stereo for car cheap dual best

The 15 barely fits and i had to make a custom box just to get it to. I am looking for something that hits at least as hard as that. Any ideas?

This was my first ever attempt at building a box (hence not finished). probably all wrong but it sounded good but now the vented part is vibrating like crazy.

right as it should. just wondering because ultimatly it depends on how loud it is now really. but i can pretty much guarantee you can get at least that loud with 2 12s. just depending on what you have would be the factor on what to get

ya i can tell thats ur first box.

If you can get a good custom box id say something like 2 DD 2500 10s or 12s (id suggest the 10s)

if not then do something like 2 fosgate T 12s ported or sealed, staying with kicker 2 l7s would fit the bill but square subs sealed is stupid and there's not enough room for 2 l7s ported properly. cvr is too small and cvx would work but they are bigger then the amp power
