ipersonally would do the single 18 will be more cost effective and a better sounding woofer but if you need 15's for a reasonable price these are the best for your price range.

I love my IA 187, and I give it almost 500 watts daily as it is. When my new amp gets here, it'll be getting 700+ daily. Mine hasn't even broken in any.

How clean does it sound? What size box, and amp do you have?

I vote 1 18 or 15 that will handle the power well.
DC Lvl 4 or 4XL would work great.
Not to downplay the abilities of the 187's, this is just my opinion.
I am very confident you would not be disappointed with a single 18 that would shine with 1500rms. Especially in a proper box. And you will be able to get a very capable 18 or 15 for your budget new or classifieds.
Best of luck.

Is the 187 a 2.5" coil driver ? I don't recall... saw them at SBN last year and they looked really nice.

I'm not sure. What do you think of a Sundown 1500 running a Nightshade 18? What size box would the 18 need? I listen mainly to rap music, but I want the sound to be "punchy". Can a 18 even be "punchy"?
yes the night shade is amazing and can dig low man, 18 is great for rap music
put it in a 4.5 cube box tuned to 38hz
