Newbie questions. Sundown audio E-series now, but if i get SA-12?

[cchheett 10+ year member]

Need some suggestions with a few questions. Rite now I am using a Sundown audio E-series 12" sub woofer. I am using a cheap hifonics brutus amp. I am getting 900 watts to the sub "2ohm". The box is a little big for the back of my truck. I am going to be using a new box sometime. Now the real question I need is should I just stick with the E-series that I already have. Or should i purchase a Sa12. Now I would like to keep the amp as 2 ohm. The amp will handle 1200 watts on a 1 ohm load, but when i had 2 e-series I had them hooked up and my alternator could tell. I have the big 3 done. Rite now with 900 watts its perfect. Will a sa-12 sound better with 900 watts. Or would there not be any difference.

I had a stroke years back, so if my words sound odd, its from that .

Looking to purchase the sub soon, just hoping anyone could chime in on if the 900 watts will be ok or if i will have to buy a 2 ohm sub and wire it down to 1ohm "witch i don't want to do". Hoping 900 watts will be ok. Thanks again.

I would upgrade with the SA 12, and then on down the line when you get your electrical squared away, throw more power at the Sa 12. It can handle about 1500 rms if you know what you're doing

Sa12 will do fine on that power but I would wire to 1ohm and set the gain very conservative

Thanks for the info guys. look likes I will buy an SA-12 and run it for a while with 900 watts. I am going to get the 4 ohm and wire it to 2ohm load. Then in a few months "3 or 4 " I will get a HO alternator and get another 4 ohm sub, then wire them to a new amp to 1 ohm load.

Thanks for your time.
