hey guys i just oredr the lanzar opti 1000.1d iv herd nothing but good things about it , and if what I herd is right then this thing will most like be able to demolish my current subs... so to anyone who has this amp or know about it, what subs are you running or what subs would you recommend ,l'm looking for two 12s with about a 50/50 -40/60 spl/sq ratio that will perform well in a 4cuft box tuned to 37hz....o and I don't really want to go over $260 a pair but I will if you can convince me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have the same amp. I've been contemplating a sub upgrade for a while now. I'm currently using some surprisingly good sounding pyramid super pro's. I've been wanting some e12kd4's, but i would be using them in a 1.5 sealed box. The dual 2's would probably work well in your ported box running at 2 ohms off the opti. They'd probably get 400rms a piece or so.

The amp is for real though. The ratings are conservative to say the least, and all the controls are accurate and well built.
