Default Keep my 2 12's or go with 1 good 12. Convertible

Need some help here...

I have an 02 GT Convertible so Im kind of limited on space. I also have Air Ride and just purchased Nitrous, so I have an Air Compressor, Air tank, and Nitrous bottle in my trunk now too.
I want to go from 2 subs to 1 sub to free up some space in my trunk. Heres what I have currently:

2 Pioneer 12" TS-W300R Subwoofers
Pioneer GM-7100M Amplifier

Let me say that what I have now sounds perfectly fine to me (and I got the whole kit: subs, box, and amp from Circuit City for $300) Im strictly trying to save some space.

I want to keep my amplifier. Is there a single sub out there that will get me the same amount of power and sound as good as my 2 Pioneers without changing the amp?

I was considering one of those square Kickers as Ive heard good things about them. But theyre like $250 and I dont want to spend that much on a damn speaker.

Again, Im not looking for someone to tell me that my current setup is junk. (I know it is, but I have better things to spend thousands of dollars on besides speakers.) Like is there maybe a model that is a couple years old that I can find a deal on, on ebay or craigslist?

Oh, and I listen to mostly classic rock, and Indie if that makes a difference

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

really good sub. there are plenty of subs better than those pioneers. a single 12" sub ported would prob get louder than 2 12" sealed depending on the power.

also a good sub.

whats your budget and how much power do you have on tap?

The amp is a Pioneer GM-7100M It says 800w on the front and continuous power of 250w x 1 @ 4 ohms and 360w x 1 @ 2 ohms. I only want to spend around $150 or so

would I be better off getting 2 or 3 10's? That would still save me space cuz the box would fit under the convertible brace. and be out of the way

wow that to be honest is not alot of power to work with.

but i reccomend with such little power and little budget
http://www.audioque.com/aq/SDC2_5_Series.htm

get the 12" its 139+s/h

or the 10" for 129+s/h

this sub will surpise you.

but you can get two of these 8"

and still be as loud if not louder than the single 10" and not use alot of space.

i personally would go with the two 8"
