Okay so I'm looking at buying an American Bass e1244(1200 rms, 2400max) to run with my Sony xplod 1000 watt amp( xm-1652z) but I'm concerned it won't have enough power to push it. So would an 12" American Bass USA XD(500rms,1000 max) be better? I'm using a ported box, but I don't know the dimensions :( I would also take opinions on any other subs I should get.

This would work just fine. 750 rms.

That 15" posted above will need alot more power than your Sony amp can provide. plus it is the wrong ohm load.

Your amp does 165 x2 @ 4 ohms
or bridged
400 x1 @ 4 ohms.

Before anybody can give you sound advice we would need a budget and how much space you have to work with.

For that sub.. A single sub.. You will need an amplifier to be stable @ 2 ohms, of approx 1500-2k rms or an amplifier @1 ohm stable at approx 2k-3k rms to serve at the 2 ohm load decently and get that sub to do some work in my experiences. Id look at a Taramps 3 k amplifier that is 2 ohm stable( find the Sales for the 4th July) That would be a nice amplifier for the $. May take a look at CT Sounds CT amplifiers, and NVX for the money . Take advantage of the 4th July Sales, do some searching, you may be able to find a hell of a deal on a great amp for that sub. I like A.Bass subs.for the $
