k, so i am running 2 12' type x's in a sealed box... right now i have 1 running off a 500/1... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif the type x's are rated to run at 500 rms... and it's a jl amp, so it's okay... but as everything goes, i need more! LoL i have a second X laying around and the box is built... just need an amp.

so i have been looking into just buying 2 jl 1000/1's pick em both up for about $800. i like the jl's, i have had a lot of experience with them and i love the tuning capabilities and the sq that i get out of them... the amps are stable from 1.5 and push 1000 rms out from 1.5 to 4 ohms... dont understand how that works, or if there is a way to bypass the restricter and push higher rms at 2 ohm...

but anyways, my question is if there is a better way to get 2000 rms with better sound quality without blowing the bank. the subs are dual 4 coil, so i can wire them at 1 or 2 ohms if i want.

type x's are rated at 1000 watts rms each.....

2 1000/1's would be nice but i'd be more inclined to run a IA 20.1

Actually 1 or 4 ohms are your options.

 
Sundowns are quite impressive. I would put them up against a JL amp any day. Not much experience with a IA20.1...

I would go sundowns...
My IA 20.1 sounds great with my RD alpha v.2. I really like it, i wouldnt sell it for any other 2000watt amp, im looking for something in the 5kw range instead of this so thats why im getting rid of it.
