4 8's Vs 2 12's Vs 2 10's in trunk car

Ok here is my situations. I had 2 12 L7's in a Nolte Audio box which im guessing was tuned high and it was only 33Wx13.5Hx18D for 2 L7's it got plenty loud but the sound quality wasnt the best because i think it peaked around 55 hz thats where the loudest by ear on a test tone was. I still have one of my L7's i havent sold yet.

I purchased a Rockford Fosgate T2 12" subwoofer and built a box that is 2.25 Like RF recommends tuned to 34hz, im pushing 1000 watts to it right now as with the L7's i had the gains set for 44.7 which is 2000 rms. The lows with this sub are insane compared to teh L7's i know its bc i the box must be tuned lower and i know i dont have enough space to get full potential out of the L7's. Should i up the power a little bit and cut some of the inside of the box to tune it higher (i know how much to cut off the person that designed it told me how much). RF recommends 40hz then actual in car is 37hz? thats what the site says

What i am asking is, i am looking for either 4 8's, 2 12's, or 2 10's that will get loud off of a hifonics bxi2006d at 1 ohm, and the max dimensions i can work with is around 35Wx13.7Hx19.2D. My budget is around 250-300.

id say go with a single 12 or 15.

well i cant fit a 15" enless i have the sub firing upward i think because my max height is 13.5, and i dont know if i have enough room to work with for a 15".

I have a 12" RF T2 right now running off 1000 watts it gets loud and is tuned to 34hz but i just want something louder. i was thinking of grabbing a subwoofer that holds 2000 rms cause i have a bxi2006d to use. but i was also thinking 2 10's could possibly get louder then that 1 12" cause of more cone area. Then i was thinking of 2 12" CVX or FI BL and putting them in their minimum Recommended box and seeing how that sounded, i just dont want to keep buying subwoofers until im happy.
