Personally, I've never heard a Kicker square sub install that I approved of the sound quality, but they can get fruggin' LOUD, if that's all you're after.
There is no distinguishable difference in sound quality between small and large subs. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't understand the engineering of a subwoofer.
Your results will rely on installation.

Cars with the interior volume and shape of the Tibby produce alot of bass from smaller systems. I don't think you need the 15. I personally prefer the sound of 10's, but 12's would still be better than the 15. Go with 2 or 3 10's or 12's, depending on how painful you want it to be. :)

from my experience for the best overall performance with subs, try 2 or even 3 (yes 3) 10 inchers in a well made compression box. the bass is very tight, and the subs last longer. I used 3 MTX thunderpros once and i beat out most 12 inchers and even some 15;s in competition SPL scores!! also it depends on the vehicle. I had a hatchback at the time.

if you get a 18" sub kiss sound quality goodbye. i am not a big fan of kicker subs, just dont like the way they sound, and the square design is not very efficent. stick with 12s.
