2000watts in a trunk, what subs

[1ndatrunk 10+ year member]

Ok guys heres the deal, I want the loudest possible setup in my 85 Cadillac Fleetwood. I'm working with around 2000watts@1ohm, once I get my electrical up to par, and about 10-12 cuft in my trunk without having to glass it. I've had many suggestions so far. I have a TREO CSX18 on the way, but I keep hearing that I should go with more cone area. I was thinking of trying 4 Kicker comp15s sealed, subs up. What would you guys get if you were in this situation? Budget is kinda low, but I'll be buying one sub at a time anyway, so give me your opinions.

This is a daily setup, so I need it loud and low.

Would these work better than the Nightshade on the same power?

The two have a completely different sound. These are more daily friendly than the NightShades and will get lower. They're more for 1kwatts or less power range. The Z15 is a daily musical sub that gets loud where the NightShade is a loud sub that can play music daily.

Whats the optimum box specs and tuning for two of those? What do the production ones look like?

Would a Nightshade 15 be louder or as loud as two of the Z15s on 2000watts? I'm a big fan of single sub setups, so thats why I ask

This is a total guess but with the cone area advantage I think the pair of Z15s will be louder.

I see... So on 3000watts would the Nightshade excel over the Z15s?
