In my opinion the r/f T2 is not worth the money, and to get the full output from 2 sa's 12 you will need a little more power.

I'd do a single beefy 15" over 2 medium 12" subs. My friend has the exact car as you and built numerous boxes and the best sub/port orientation we've found is sub firing forward port firing into the passenger side wheel well.

Sonicelectronix has the t215 for I think the same price as the 12. Almost ordered a xxx12 but they are on backorder for 3 to 4 weeks. Plus my amp isn't strong enough to get the subs potential. So everyone thinks the single 15(whatever make) would hit harder than two SA12s?????

If all things are equal, 2 sa12's vs 1 sa15 then of course the 12's would be louder but ff you were to do a single beefy 15" like SSA XCON vs 2 sa12's on the same power the XCON's would be louder due to its motor force.
Motor force is calculated by BL*BL/RE.

OK so after care full consideration I went with the two sa12s. Thanks everyone for the input! I just liked the idea of two 12s vs a single 15. Lots of work since my last post. Got the subs, built a box to 34hz, sound deadened the trunk, hooked everything up and my petty 40 amp fuse blew in like five seconds! I was running 8 gauge power wire. Off to the shop I went. Picked up 25ft of 4 gauge and a 200 amp fuse and all was well. Turned it on and holy s#$%!!!!!! These things are slamming!!!!! Been out of the game for a while so I had high expectations but not this high. My Rockford is pressing these two twelves more than I had imagined. With the back seat down I get some scary windshield flex! Never had a system before that I had to worry about the damn glass in the car! Lol! Anyway, thanks for the input. Can post pictures of the install if anyone is interested......
