Help pickin out some subs

[wokeupscreamin]

I had two ten inch kenwood tornados back in the day when they first came out and they thumped pretty **** good. I'm wanting to build a system with the amp I already have and I'm trying to decide on wether I want two tens like before or If I should go with one 12. I had an infinity kappa perfect 10 hooked up to this amp and it died right away.

I'm looking for a halfway point between SQ and SPL. I'm also not looking to spend over $130 on the subs. I'm building the sealed box myself.

What sub or subs would you suggest and how would you recomend I wire them. My amp specs are as follows:

1600W max power @ 2 Ohms

1000W max power @ 4 Ohms

500W x 1 RMS into 4 ohms, 20Hz - 100Hz at 0.2% THD

900W x 1 RMS into 2 ohms, 20Hz - 100Hz at 0.6% THD

Class D

Variable 50 - 300Hz Low Pass Filter

Frequency Response: 5 Hz - 300 Hz (±3dB)

Harmonic distortion: 0.06% or less (at 100 Hz, 4 ohms)

Input level adjustment range: 0.3 - 6V (RCA pin jacks), 1.2 - 12V (High level)

Low-pass filter: 50 - 300 Hz, -12 dB/oct

Low boost: 0 - 10 dB (40 Hz)

Subsonic filter

Remote Subwoofer level control

40Hz EQ boost

Line level throughput

MOSFET output stage & power supply

Input/Outputs:

Inputs: RCA pin jacks, High level input connector

Outputs: Speaker terminals, Through output pin jacks

Pulse Power supply

Speaker Impedance: 2 - 8 ohms (stereo)

Power requirements: 12 V DC car battery (negative ground)

Power supply voltage: 10.5 - 16 V

Current drain: 50 A (at 4 ohms, rated output)

I don't know what kind of amp you have, but based on the ratings you gave, I'm going to step out on a limb and say it's way overrated. Let's just say it's 500wrms at 2 ohms. The two options that come to mind are 1 10" Type R or you may can go with 2 10" AA Assassins, that'd be a bit over your budget, but not by much.

How did you have the Infinity sub wired? What were your amp settings? You probably fed it a badly clipped signal and that meant death.
