12" subs for a Hifonics BXi2006.D

[Cervantes6]

I'm looking into getting 2 12" subs for my amplifier (Hifonics Brutus BXi2006D). They will be installed into the trunk of a 2008 Cadillac CTS, and I would like to keep some trunk space. Any suggestions on the best subs for my money? I was thinking about 2 Type R's, but after reading about some new (to me) brands on here, I thought I'd go with something new (and hopefully better). I'm trying to get rid of an Alpine Type X and Hifonics Brutus brz1700 (trades? lol) and then i'll probably be looking at a price range of $400-500 for the pair.

Thanks.

Somebody has 2 brand new elemental design 10's for 220 shipped. Those things would get quite loud while sounding really good plus they wouldn't need a collosal box a lot of higher end subs desire.

Huge difference between these 10's and XFL 12's ?

I was leaning towards the XFL's, but I'm open to anything.

Thank you.

How would a pair of these compare to a pair of SA-12's ?

Thanks.

One other thing: if I did go with the XFL's, would I need the dual 2 ohm or 4 ohm version? My amps specs:

Super D-Class Monoblock Amplifier

RMS Power Ratings: ◦1 ohm: 2000 watts x 1 channel

2 ohms: 1300 watts x 1 channel

4 ohms: 650 watts x 1 channel

Is this amp sufficient? I'm open to different amps, but I'm not positive I could get anything close to value by selling it locally, and I'd need to move it to have extra cash for a different amp.

Thanks.

If you are getting 2 12" you need dual 4ohm subs and they will wire down to 1ohm.

If space is a concern and you want 12's I'd go with some DC Audio subs, they are better suited to smaller ported enclosures...
