Re: Give me some info....

Impedance all depends on the amp you're getting. Most higher end amps now have the same wattage across any load from 1.5 to 4 ohms. Hard to tell which one is better based on specs and I've never heard these two subs so who knows.

Re: Give me some info....

^^ true

it all depends on the amp, how many subs, etc.. you may want to look into proper airspace for each sub.. how many you want to run.. and see if you have room for either sub..

Re: Give me some info....

ok so another post of mine disappeared..

a dual 2 ohm would be fine since your amp does 2000w @ 1 ohm.. you can wire your sub in parallel and get it down to 1 ohm and they are 2000w RMS so that will match up perfectly

Re: Give me some info....

I would pick the RE, but are you open to other suggestions?

Re: Give me some info....

I would look into FI car audio, Incriminator Audio, Ascendant Audio, Digital Designs...... It really just comes down to how much you want to spend, and how much room you are willing to give up for the enclosure.

Re: Give me some info....

What model xxx are you referring to? Before US amps bought re or before?

I would take the btl over the xxx, but it's also install dependent. FI's customer service is also another reason I would run them, along with it being a great product.

Re: Give me some info....

I would say to look for one around 2500 "real" watts, I don't know if you're trying to stay with a certain brand or not.

You also have to remember that you're probably going to need to upgrade some of your electrical to withstand the current draw.

Some options would be Crunch GP3000d, RF T2000, RF T2500, Sundown Audio 2000d, there's more but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

Re: Give me some info....

the BTL requires a ported box, and if you do it right, the 15 will need like 7-7.5 cubes gross. pretty sure that wont fit under the window. a 12 would be fine as long as you do the necessary electrical
