I have never heard the Kappas, but i would always recommend a W6 sub.

Small box 12's you could look at...
Image Dynamics IDQ 12's
Kicker Solobaric
Kicker Comps
JL 12w6 (however if you are running just 2 subs, these may not be what you want)
Or a host of others. Many subs will run just fine in that size enclosure, however you may lack some of the really low end you would gain from a larger enclosure. But on the other side, the smaller enclosure will allow for higher power handling (if properly sealed)

I've got a pair of 10" HE2s sitting in the box underneath the 360a2 amp that I bought. Someday I'll get around to installing them.

Cerwin-Vega Stealth subs are designed for small, sealed boxes. I'm running a 12" now in a custom made box and it is awesome! 0.85 cu ft may be a little small, but not by much (I think they like 1.0). You might have to go with 10's with that small of a volume.
