Louder sub

[Spddracer 10+ year member]

Ok heres the deal , I have a brahma 12 sealed with a jbl1200.1 running it , I like the sub it sounds great and def is loud , but it seems to be lacking in impact (hopefully you know what I mean ) you know when it hits you in the chest ? I am looking for 1 maybe 2 12,s that hit me when I turn the nob ! I dont want sloppy subs but dont most higher end subs sound good anyway sealed ?? Im thinking of changing and am not sure what i need do I need to lean towards a L7 , W6's ??? the impact just not there that I want , My brahma hits 140 but I have heard other 140 systems that hit me much harder in the chest , Not a cheesy install either !
