No guarantee on this, but off the specs alone the Pioneer should be the louder sub. Pioneer is 94db & Memphis is 85db of efficiency, I would say that the Memphis would be more accurate from a sound perspective in my experience. Not sure what you have invested in the subs, I have always went with 2 - 12 like you have until the Monte where I went with a single JL 13W6 in a small enclosure. I have a Memphis 500.1 driving it and it hits lower, plays louder and clearer than the 12 I would have used. The other benefit is it only takes up 1/2 the space in the trunk.

13W6v2-D4 - Car Audio - Subwoofer Drivers - W6v2 - JL Audio

You can find them online for around $400, run VC in parallel for a 2 ohm load.

Good luck with boom factor!

For an overall sub, the Memphis is better. Pioneer lacks in car audio IMO.
