Kickstarts-suck

Planning on upgrading soon. Right now I have 1 Kicker cvr12 4ohm sub and a kicker 400wrms amp.
I want some more bass so I was wanting to get another cvr12. But my current sub is 4ohm so adding another 4ohm sub would make me have to run either a 1ohm load or a 4ohm load. Not sure if kicker subs are meant to handle 1ohm loads and if I went to a 4ohm load I would have to get a huge amp.

So then I thought about getting 2 more cvr12 4ohms. That way I could get closer to a 2ohm load. I just looked it up on rockfordfosgates site and it shows ill be at 2.67ohm load.

Another problem with this is my box is 2.21 square Feet and 3 12" subs wont have enough air.
Each sub requires
Sealed Box Volume 1.0 - 4.6cu. ft.
Ported Box Volume 1.75 - 2.25cu. ft.
Right now im thinking about just getting 1 more cvr12 4ohm and running them in a 1 ohm load.
I will be buying a hifonics amp for any one of these setups and they are stable at 1ohm.
Thanks
