Need Help, Kicker Vs SSL

[zair 10+ year member]

im in college, and im a fresh basshead, just became one about a year and steady upgrading.

i currently have 2 kicker comp 4 Ohm 15" in a sealed box on a Sony Xplod 1200w amp, not turned all the way up of course, HOWEVER i have some extra funds and i was given a deal on some "SSL E15D E Series 15" Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coil Subwoofer, 1800 Watts"

not being a very knowledgeable basshead, im assuming that i can get 2 of these SSLs and put them on my 1200w Xplod and be able to open the amp all the way, and get louder.........

well my question is, would these SSLs be a better upgrade from the kickers on my 1200 watt as far as being louder?

here is the amp

No! The subs you mentioned are 45 bucks a piece on Amazon! Pure junk! It'd be worse than running Pyle subs in your ride. Keep the Kickers till you can afford something better. And if that's the Sony I think it is it's only doing 600 @ 2 ohm. The Kickers can take 250 a piece. Good match.

You're also running sealed? Why? Kicker Comps love ported boxes and breathing room. Before spending money on new subs get a nice ported box and that will increase your loudness and SQ by a lot!

Dont do anything. Save some money and do it right. And what do you mean the amp isnt turned up? Gain is not a power knob. Depending on the HU, 1/2 could be way to much.

OP do yourself a favor and put a hold on any purchases.
