You have to go ported, how much are you looking to spend on an amp? Those Power HX2's are some power hungry bastards.

another vote for ported here...i've heard some ungodly loud HX2 installs that were ported.

its dual 2ohm right? so either 1 or 4ohm load?

right now from top of my head id say hifonics bx1000d 1000x1@1ohm load (cant think 2 tired)

edit: oh ya i vote for ported

1000 watts would probably just tickle it, he'll be better off with a bx1500... or even something more powerful then that.

well money isnt really a problem but less than $1000 LOL if less than $750 thats even better. for now i only have the subs and nothing else. this is going to be a long term project for me hehe

you want 1000x1 @ 1 ohm, 1000x1 @ 4 ohms, or 500x2 @ 2 ohms. you will get the best sound quality out of a mono amp, next best by running a stereo amp in stereo. running a stereo amp in bridged mode you will lose a little siganl clarity.

i have a

jl 1000/1 - 1000 into 1.5-4 ohms

pair of rockford power 1000bd's, with link and sync cable - 1000 into 4 or 2 x 1000 into 2 ohms

kicker kx1200.1 - 1200 into 1 ohm. actually birth sheets rated at 1440 on one and over 1500 on the other. would probably be best solution for you - no worries about any clipping either. fosgate would be cool as they are a pair, still rf going with your sub, and look huge and cool together. kicker is cheaper than i'd let the fosgates go for though.

guess i'm not like everyone else because i prefer sealed! i like punchier sq hits more than spl rolls and rumbles...
