12" sub off of orion 1200D

[j97max 10+ year member]

right now i have a powerbass Xtreme 12 thats 800 w/rms. it pounds pretty hard for only 1-12". it kills my 2-12" 2004 type-r's in loudness and the 2-12" jlw3v2. both the type-r's, which i have for sale(pm if interested in them) and the jlw3v2 were in a subzone ported. the powerbass is also in a ported box. ( a prefab) not exactly sure what its tuned at. it is running off an orion 1200D, but i am still not content. I WANT TO BE LOUDER, but i still wanna run the 1200D. preferably at 1ohm for around 1250-1300rms. but i am confused on what 12" to consider. from what i hear about the pbx it is very similar in spl to a re sx and thats what i originally wanted. so im jsut up for any ideas. I NEED HELP

SPL subs that can handle 1200. umm SX like you said KICKER L7's can take it.

should i just add another pbx?

If you're satisfied with your PBX right now but just want it louder, I would certainly consider another one and doubling the power.

its wired at 2ohms which is only around 750/rms going to it and that ****er moves liek 2 inches. so i figure i would jsut wire to 1ohm and they would see about 650-700w/rms

get another provided you have the room //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I can suggest an H2 12 or 15 for that matter, a buddy has one off a 1200d and is loving every second of it. loud and low.

SX would be my choice, gets loud and sounds fairly good
