alphasonik pma1200da questions and sub ?'s

Ok well guys don't flame to bad please. But I'm running this amp. I'm sure many will say it's garbage, but I've ran this brand before and have liked the output. So my ? is they say it puts out 2475 at 1 ohm rms. Now Im sure the ratings are on 14+ volts,but what amount do you think it is really doing(as im sure 1475 is incorrect). I ask because I am looking for a set of 12's. Currently I am looking at 2 re se 12's, 2 treo tsx 12.44, and dc lvl3. All are dual 4 ohm. I am just wondering if I could run one of these sets and be fine and not smash them up. I just sold my dd 9515d d2 and am hoping to get louder with more cone area, but dont wanna waste money having to recone because they cant handle the powa. So watcha guys think on the amp ratings? And yes I've searched but havent seen much talk on this amp. And i kno wrong section but which set of subs u suggest(flame suit on).

2 dv lcl 3 12's would sound nice

think they could handle the amp they are rated 600 rms 1200 max

def. bro! If the amp does rated power keep your gain low.

I don't have the air space, about 3.6 or so cubes is all I have. 33 wide 16.5 high, and 18 deep. So I can get my spare out if needed. I figure 3.6 is good for 2 12's. Don't get me wrong the 15 was crazy loud but I just figured I could go louder with 12's.

you probably can but 3.6 is all you can work with?

yea thats about it thats using the re calc. that would be max high max wide, and still leaves me enough room to fight with my spare to get it out. And it allows me to get the box out if need without to much hassle. I could possibly go 20 deep and get 4.1 but i dunno if it would go in and out easy. Small car 97 acura 3.0 cl

any idea if this thing is stable below 1 ohm? It's under warranty so if it burns up no biggie
