2x2x12inch or 2x15inch subwoofers

I am deciding between either a Rythmik G22, E22, or E15HP2.

I will buy 2 of each.  Would 2 12inch drivers deliver more room pressureization or 1 15inch driver?  Salk recommends 1 15 inch over 2 12inch woofers.  I have 2 REL S510s in the front of the room connected by both High Level and .1 and the speakers higher up would be in the back of the room.

Room is 2200 cubic feet, and has full accoustic treatments.

I don't know if this helps or not, but I have a pair of the E15HP2's (4000 cubic room w/ full acoustic treatment).
If I'm watching a movie with my wife I can use both subs (main system volume is lower than watching a movie myself).
If I'm watching a movie alone, and she's upstairs on either the main floor or the 2nd story floor, I have to turn one of them off, and the volume down on the other. It's amazing how much these things can pressurize a room.
I thought about a pair of G22's, but didn't like where the plate amp is situated.
Best of luck going forward whatever your decision is.

Read myth #9 -  Myth: smaller subwoofers are faster than larger ones. Big subwoofers sound slow and inarticulate.
