Best bargin subs for a RF1001bd?

[PollyCranopolis 10+ year member]

I have a RF1001bd. Not thinking, I ordered 2 audiobahn 12's (4 ohm DVC), which means I can only run them both at 4 0hm (which is only using half the amp) or 1 ohm, which i don't want to do since the amp's recommended impeadence is 2 ohm. I was wondering if i could get some suggestions for a pair of 12's that will run together at 2 ohm, sound good, and won't break the bank. Thanx

Depending on how much room for a box you have ... Kicker L5 12's might work.

Orion P series maybe.

A price range would help. But I do agree with the aforementioned Ti's.

Why Audiobahn?

Check out the Adire Shivas www.adireaudio.com $125 each!

that amp will do 1ohm all day long. it will put out over 1000 watts at 1ohm also.

wire everything in parallel and you will be fine.

I guess so. I think all it would do is take all the headroom out of the amp and it would probably just make it shutoff when you turn it up.

RE SE's are also a nice option, plus SD is having a sale on IDQv2's

SE's are great subs just a lil pricey. Pg ti's would be my choice,tho Shivas are supposively very good drivers but i have yet to hear one.
