That amp is way too much.

Get the d4 r and buy a hifonics Brutus. Wire it down to 2 ohms for 1100wrms.

That way, in the future when u want more, buy another r and wire it down to 1 ohm for 1600 wrms.

stupid advice^ A type R CANNOT handle 1000 watts RMS. I had 2 off of a total 1000 watts RMS, amp set with a O-scope so no clipping and the coils got smelly after 20 minutes of hard playing.

my amp is realy old i think it only puts out 100watts... have it hooked up to a kicker cvt 12" 400w rms and sure does not sound like 1000 watts.. maybe time for a new amp? hifonics a good brand?
