What should I switch to?

[Smac 10+ year member]

Right now, I currently have have two 12'' Rf p1's. These are rated at only 150 rms for each. My amp is a Rf 401s, which is listed to put out 200 rms from each channel (being two channel). So right now i am overpowering my subs and u can kind of tell. One of the subs will pop every so often. So, what subs do u guys suggest I get to replace them? I'd want more spl but not bad sq. Ive also been told that my amp is a little underrated.

well make sure you have the gain set right on your amp so you dont blow your subs. but if you are replacing the ones that you have now tell us a budget that you can spend that would help out a bit

my budget is around 150-200 bucks

I suggest the Elemental Designs 16Kv.2 D2. You're amp would be a perfect fit and I think you'll be impressed if you throw it in a ported enclosure.

thats looks nice, but does it make a difference if i would have two subs instead one (2 being, like 250 rms or something)?

I would probally stick with 1 giving it it's full RMS.
