replacing 2 12's with 1 12 or 15 - help

[thephoenixvampi 10+ year member]

i currently have 2 12" memphis class-m subs (200 rms each 400 max) that i am over powering with my Performance teknique amp (3000 max, 1500 rms at 1 ohm - not the great i know...but it was really cheap). i am looking to get a single sub that will perform the same or considerably better the what i have now. i am limited to $200 not counting the pre-fab box that i will end up getting for it (gimmie a saw, and i'll cut my fingers off). so basically i want more power if possible (the same is fine too) but i need more room in my trunk.

btw, i rarely listen to rap. more metal and and techno than anything. and i prefer the sound of a sealed sub then ported (if that means much). ALL suggestions would be great

Edit: sound quality is rather important to me.

a XXX on $200??? your crazy.

re and fi are great. also look at some image dynamics subs. you can get IDs for that price or used IDQs.
