Wanting 2k @ 2 ohm

[Frank H]

I am running a Sundown Audio X12 with dual 4 (version2). I keep reading this thing can take 2k+ all day (rated at 1500w but most say underrated). I have 1000w Alpine on it now and its very decent but wanting more.

What I want is 2000 RMS at 2 ohm BUT I want it to be 1ohm stable for when I decide the one 12" isnt enough, I can upgrade to two D4's and run 1ohm load to the amp and get more power.

Big 3 with 1/0g OFC wire, same wire to the trunk. Am adding a 2nd yellowtop battery when I relocate the amp's in the next week or so, since I have a spare sitting here. I will upgrade the alt before I run the amp at 1 ohm.

Recommend something to me please?
