First I would say that these subs are great. I've had p3 12's and they slam pretty hard.
Second, can your electrical system handle 2 amps pushing 800 watts? Do you have a stock battery? Stock alternator? Upgraded big three? You might wanna consider doing this before loading your electrical system with ~130 extra amps.
Third, vehicle are you building in? Will you have enough space to build a box large enough to house 2 15" inch subwoofers?
Finally, here's what I would do in your situation.

I think going from 1 12 off 200 watts to 3 12's off ~1200 will definitely provide you with the more bass you crave without completely raping your electrical system. This route will also be a lot cheaper than your plan. Let me know if you have any questions.
Edit: I would like to explain something that I wish I would have understood when I was first getting started. Subs and amps are not magic. They operate off electricity that doesn't just materialize from thin air. There is only a set amount of electricity alternating from the battery in your vehicle. Therefore, we can't just plug up high power amplifiers and expect everything to work out perfectly! We must be efficient with the amount of power we have, which is why you should get a nice box and focus on other means of proficiency.

Rockford Punch
$64.95 dollar subwoofer and performs great. But if you want the true opinion from anyone who buys CarAV, a subwoofer is actually one of the most important items in the car audio world. It takes the stress off the stock speakers which makes them sound clearer. But then again, it all comes down to what you're musical preference is. Great build but if you want some bump in the trunk, you're gonna wanna have a budget higher than $75.
