What should I run with a Rockford t1500 1bd

[sdpeel18]

Hi everyone, I recently sold my 15" cvr kicker and sound ordinance m1500 amp in order to upgrade my system. I have a Rockford t1500 1bd single channel monoblock amp and a 2 farad capacitor. I wanted to get some opinions on what subs to push with it or what would be safe to push with this amp because I know it has a ton of power. It was tested at a little over 1900 rms x1 at 1 ohm and about 1700rms x1 at 2 ohms. I would like 2x 12s because I already have a dual ported box.

dump the cap,do the big 3 and whats your budget for subs , and what size and how many you want ?

Is that just using 4 gauge wiring? Because I'm using that now. I'd like two 12s. Probably 2-250 per sub

i could do 2 xfl 12s for 195 each shipped new

The XFL's would get loud too. do the big 3 with 0g wire and use 0g for your amp power/grnd.

Ok so upgrade the wiring. Any other suggestions on good subs that can handle being pushed by this amp?

That T1500 is a badass amp. I've got the T1000. Birthsheet says 1464 @ 2 ohm. Lol! Is the box you have already a pre-fab or is it a nicer custom enclosure? Because if it's a too small, tuned too high, POS pre-fab I'd start there.

Its a pre fab box. I have it posted for sale on craigslist. I was going to build a box to fit the woofers specs after I got the subs
