Two 12" RE's vs. One 15" SE vs. One TEMPEST

[lmnop 10+ year member]

well between the options; two 12" 'entry level' RE's; one 15" SE; or one tempest, which would it be. I'm going for sound quality but still want it to hit real hard when i turn the volume up. A guy I know has 2 12" pioneer premiers with a sony amp and he thinks hes badass and that one 15" wouldn't hit as hard as those. How would the choices i have listed compare to a setup like his?

I'm going for around a $400 budget for sub(s)/amp/box/wiring. I have a 99 buick century which has nice trunk space which i rarely use. I also have a stock alternator/battery and i dont want a setup that will cause me to have to upgrade alternator/battery or to buy a capicitor.

so what do you all think would be the best decision for my situation as far as the three options (two 12" 'entry level' RE's; one 15" SE; or one tempest) and possible amps to go along with them?

I believe the SE 15" runnin a little over 600rms will stomp his premiers. Matched with a good amp of course, and a well built box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/angel.gif.fa7795fff6653f4381ba158c55a48b74.gif

15" Tempest (if you can find one) with a matching amp in a big ported box (~4 cubes) would sound really good and have enough output for you.
