new system help

[turbovdub 10+ year member]

my name is rj, i am new to the forums. i have a 03 vw gti. i am lookin for a new set up as far as amps and subs go.. highs will be later. i listen to rock, alternitive like 60% and hip hop, etc about 40% of the time.

1st set up.

2 12" kicker compvr's ported (pre fab from kicker)

kicker 600.1

kicker 350.4

kicker kx components (2 pair)

pioneer 8600 radio

Current set up.

i wanted to save some space so...

custom sealed box 1.25 cu. ft with amp rack

1 12" kicker L5 solo

kicker zx 700.5

same radio and components

now... i dont have a lot of room in the hatch and i want to keep decent space.

the l5 just isnt doing it for me... it seems sloppy and slow.

i want excellent sq in my new subs. also, i want deep, low bass with good spl, but i am not going for a competition car.

i am looking at:

ID MAX 10" or 12"

...or...

Soundspliter RL-p 10" or 12"

how do these subs comapre to each other, my L5, and to JL W6's?

sq? spl? deepness? "boomyness"?

also, what size sealed box would you recomend for each? remember i am trying to save room in the hatch.

and how would 1 compare to 2? (besides it would be louder)

i would run either a kicker zx1000.1 or 1500.1 and the zx350.4 on my highs again.

what mono would you recomend for the 2 10's or 2 12's.

i know it was a long post but thats for reading and i look foward to your feedback.

i just started to read about those subs too... are they really that much better? i know they are cheaper.

as far as the box goes, i want it to be sealed so its easier to build into the car. the width is like 40".

any if any one has input from my orig post i would really like that info!
