Advice on which subs to buy

Ok, here is the setup I'm going to be running in my 92 accord, just need some help deciding on the subs, money isn't too much of an issue with em because with all the connections I've got I can get em for about the same price, so with that said here's the setup I have now and what will be in there.
Deck: Alpine CDA-9847
Door Speakers: Rockford Fosgate T162C with 200hz line bass filter
Rear Speakers: Rockford Fosgate T162C with 200hz line bass filter
Amp (that will be in there) : Rockford Fosgate P8002 2400W Max 400x2 @2ohms RMS.
Going to be running at least 3 farads of caps with that, got one already.

Here are the subs I'm thinking of, I can get some Kicker CompVR 03s from my friend in box, that have already been broken in and sound great hooked up to his kicker amp which is basically equal to that Fosgate Amp I listed. With these specs:
Model CVR12
Outer Frame Diameter, in (cm) 12 1/2 (31.8)
Nominal Impedance [Zn], ohm [per coil] 2 or 4
Power Handling Watts, Peak (RMS) 800 (400)
Sensitivity [SPLo], dB @ 1W, 1m 86.7
Effective Frequency Range, Hz 25-500
Mounting Depth, in (cm) 6 3/16 (15.7)
Hole Cut-Out Diameter, in (cm) 11 1/8 (28.3)
Equivalent Volume [Vas], ft3 (L) 3.37 (95.37)
Net Displacement, in3 (cc) 122.1 (2001)
Moving Mass [Mms], oz (g) 5.52 (156.4)
Magnet Weight, oz (kg) 47.05 (1.334)

or should I go with 2 power acoustik subs, I havn't heard much about the company, but here are the specs on those.

1800 watts power handling
700 Watts RMS
200 oz. magnet
2” ASV voice coil
SPL 91 dB
Fs: 33.5 Hz
Vas: 1.72 cu.ft.
Qms: 4.66
Qes: 0.55
Qts: 0.4939
Xmax: 0.6"
Sealed box: 1 cu. Ft.
Ported box: 2.2 cu.. Ft.
Tuning: 34 Hz
Port Size: 4”(dia)x10.25”(length)
# of ports:1


Any advice?
