[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8433900, member: 650438"] i'd get the D1 so you can wire to 2 ohm for now and you can wire to 1 ohm if you ever plan on walling it later with two 18s. Read up on box rise, when you wire to 2 ohms, you'll actually be around 3-4 ohms after box rise. Dont ever think you are fully getting the rms stated out of any amp because it doesnt work that way, unless the amp is a constant power amp with regulated internal power supply. Tune to 35hz-37hz for your genre though. You dont need to tune low with HDCs to hit the really low notes. Its not gonna sound [COLOR=black]shi[/COLOR]tty until you get above 40hz port tuning. I'm at 35hz right now and its still a bit geared for decaf and such, 37 would have sounded better on dubstep. These subs arent like other subs where you need to tune low to achieve any low notes. In fact, andrew mcollough, the owner of "the black nasty" (youtube it) did extensive testing and said 35 to 40hz tuning is best for these subs. [/QUOTE]
