Installed System Questions!!! Upgrade

I have 0/1 gauge from front stock battery to isolator to yellow top in trunk to cap to fuse dist. to amp. i grounded the amp to the battery and the cap, battery to the chassis.

HU: alpine cda-9835

amp: 1 orion 1200d;

subs: 2 earthquake subzero-12's;

alt: stock 130A;

cap: 2 fared tsunami;

fuse: 300A combined.

i am running the sub in a 1 ohm config and the amp is 1 ohm stable rated at 1200rms/2400max. at max output voltage drops to around 11.5V. i am underpoweing these subs they are rated 1000rms/2000max and need to either get another orion 1200d, or sell it to get either: orion 2500d, hifonics brusus bxi-2008d, kicker zx1500.1, or a jl 1000/1 to run both subs. i have already blown and got 1 of these subs replaced due to being underpowered. i have been trying to adjust the sub boost lvls on the HU but am weary about sending the wrong freqs to possible blow another one. what's the best way to go about this upgrade?

Since you blew one you are clipping your amp, re-set your gains the right way using the tutorial in the amplifier section, do not use any bass boost. It is impossible to blow a speaker by under-powering it.

130 amps isn't that small of an alt, by upgrading your front battery, adding one to the rear and doing the Big 3 should help your voltage problems a lot.

 
if i put the knobs to where there is no optimization the output is not there.. there is a subwoofer gain, phase increase, DB and freq optimization and phase option 0-180 in the HU.. there is a intelli bass optimization, phase option 0-180 gain and 12/24 variable low pass filter on the amp. which should be optimized and are safe to do with each other?

Low pass filter around 70-80 htz

Bass Boost off

Phase should be set to zero
