Two tens vs. 4 eights??

I just installed 2 Kenwood Excelon KFC-XW1025dB's in a sealed box and have them running off of a JL 500/1 and I have to say I am a bit dissapointed with both the SQL and SPL. The subs hit only moderately hard and sound a bit muddy. I had good experiences with the Memphis M-Class 12 inch subs for SQL purposes so I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how 4 eight inch M-Class Memphis subs would sound compared to the 2 Kenwoods.
I am also considering swapping the Kenwoods for 2 of the Memphis 10 inch subs (the Memphis subs are a lot TIGHTER than the Kenwoods)!
Thanks!

I am also going to have to say go with a 12, you are going to be hard pressed to get the same low frequency extension out of a 10 or especially an 8. I am actually getting rid of the 2 10's in my car in favour of a single 12 for SQ purposes.

Well, after more tweeking (I spend too many waking hours of my life tweeking amps) the two 10 inch Kenwoods are sounding better. I still think I will try four eight inch subs one day just to see how it sounds. I think I will have more surface area than with the two tens and I might get a better quality response between 60-80 Hz. Thanks for the input.
