8ohms? are you drunk? do you have the 1223's or the 1243's?

i dont have them yet ill be getting them soon just tryin to get all this right. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Alpine+-+Type+R+12%22+Dual-Voice-Coil+8-Ohm+Subwoofer/9775134.p?id=1218171551192&skuId=9775134&st=alpine type r&cp=1&lp=2

ok for starters, they're the 1243's. which is dual4 ohm subs not 8ohms. they misprinted that or they're just dumb. unless you have a best buy credit card, do not buy car audio from there! this site will save you 75bux per sub.

then you want to find an amp that will do 1ohm. like this amp.

alright that had me all mixed up becasue i wasent finding 8 ohm anywhere. and the only reason i was going to go with bestbuy was the warrenty if i blow them. so that amp right there will make both these type rs slam pretty good?

search my man, has been told 1000000001 times. get a discus 1500 and call it a day.

I've been lookin around and it's lookin like the discus 1500 is better than the hifonics 1500. So should I go with the discus or is there something else?

While I'm no longer do, I've owned Discus 1500's. I'd recommend them any day of the week. Don't get me wrong, there's better out there. For the price though, You won't find better, at least right now.
