Default Which Subwoofer to go with ....Limited on Power

420 watts x 1 @ 2ohms is the maximum RMS wattage my amp can output, I would rather have something that had more wattage but my amp is a 5 channel amp ...And I'm rather limited on space (for amps) as the amp slot is behind my subwoofer box...
I need to get 2 12's as that's what my vehicle specific enclosure is for. Any good choices?

420w rms is fine for daily listening, you just need subs about 200w rms each - i'm sure that 420w x1 is at 14.4v anyways..

The amp itself is a 4ch +1ch mono... I would do dual but I can't lose any more trunk space...

This is the ghetto fab way most owners who do boxes do it

The box I bought is here
Fits exactly in the shelf space..With enough space behind for 1 amp

you can't bridge a single sub channel. I'm not really sure where the idea that a bridged channel is more powerful than two separate channels, but most people here think that for some reason.
