Suggestions on a 12" sub that can handle 1500rms

I had a 12 alpine type r wired down to 2ohms getting about 800rms and it blew... Im thinkin about just getting the same sub and trying it again... but i would like to get a sub that will wire down to 1ohm 2 get more rms flowin ~1450 any ideas on a 12 that can handle that kinda power...200$ or less new...

I got the camaro hatch all the way full with 2.3@32hz box i would like a 15 2 if u can think of 1 that would be ok with that box??

Gonna be hard to find a new sub that can take that kind of power!

ya i know thats why im askin yall... I would love 2 wire amp down 2 1 ohm... I dont think a 15 ported will fit in a camaro hatch... the box right now is a real tight fit...I would love a 15

How would u compare a Type R to a P3... They are the same price but the P3 comes with a yr warranty... Also do u think a soundstream tarrantula can handle 1400 with gains turned way down???

And shldnt type r's be able to handle 800~rms

Well you you turn the gain down you reduce the power it sees. 1400w at 1 ohm would be 37.4v if you turn your gains down to say 1/2 of that so ~18.7v you are only giving the sub 349 watts. So if you turn the gains way down you also reduce the power, so yes that sub can be hooked up to a 5000w amp as long as the gains are adjusted accordingly. Understand?

What amp do you have?

i think an r is rated at 600 rms, the x's are only rated at 1000

its a hifonics 1606d... Its been benched at 1438@1 ohm and yes i understand omega

Just wanted to make sure. It sounded confusing when I read it back.

So assuming you keep the gains on the low side then that amp will be fine. What about picking up one d1 sub now and run it at 2ohms? Then you can add another d1 down the road and run it at 1ohm?

space is the issue with that omega...

theres a old school orion hcca 12 on here that may fit the bill

Grammar man, grammar. Type don't "text".

If you can go a bit over that $200 mark, a Phoenix Gold TiElite will handle 1400w and more.

Type Rs can take 800.. You did something wrong
