Two 12s will be louder because of cone are thats all. The subs will run cooler and handle more power.

2 15s is quite a bit more cone area over 2 12s. You can fit 2 15s under the window line in an f150 no problem.

so you guys recommend me to get 2 15s over the 12s .... and how much power can this speakers handle ? should i go .5 or 1 ohm ?

yes 2 15's will be quite a bit louder as long as u have the correct air space and power for them.. Question is would u rather have some space left or just only care about spl..

I would get a 5k for 2 Xv2s. That way after rise you will still get some good power to them.

2 15's just means more cone area vs. 2 12's. However, I've seen/heard 2 12's out due 2 15's. It's really gonna be enclosure dependant. Keep that in mind and do some max measuring 1st before buying.

You want lows, then the X series 15's will def do that. 8-10 cu ft tuned to 28-30Hz should make you and the subs happy. @Buck can get ya a good design for them.
