Advice on upgrading 12s...

Right not Im runing an Xplod MP3 deck with infinity kappa highs, a 1400 watt legacy amp pushing (2) Bazooka EL series 12s. They are in a custom made fiberglass box which I have almost 100 hours of work in. The system sounds good, But Im not impressed with the bazookas. I am looking to upgrade just the 12s to something with some REAL boom...But I am also on somewhat of a budget, not super cheap but not W7s either.... I am planning on running the legacy amp until I get some cash for a good monochannel, Right now the amp is bridged and am running the subs in parallel, Since its not pushing even close to 1400 watts. Any suggestion. My friend suggested some JBL DVCs said they were good for the price.... But any good priced 12s that hit hard I am looking for I need all suggestions!
