i have the beast and now i would like to test her out. i have had my eye on the 15 xxx by re. this comes in a dual 2, quad 2, and dual 1 ohm model. what i am wondering is what would be the optimum spl with the safety of the amp and sub considered.

a 2100HCCA?

it puts out 800 watts RMS @ 2 ohms bridged.
that's not really enough power for a XXX 15" to be honest.
It'd be good for maybe an SE or SX.
for one sub, pay the $25 fee and order the custom coil setup of dual 4 ohm coils.
that'll give you a 2 ohm load.

they do put out 800 watts at 2 ohms but what the amp is capable of a .5 ohm load and at that it would have 1600x2.

I don't know what generation your 2100HCCA is, but the first and second gen amps at least, were only stable to 1 ohm stereo, 2 ohms bridged.
800 watts RMS total either way

the only HCCA amp that was .5 ohm stable in the first two generations was the 225HCCA. The G3 and G4 series, I think, were .5 ohm stable stereo on other models as well, such as the 250HCCA and perhaps 275HCCA.

Doug, a crossfire VR1000D is a good amp to use on a XXX 12

it puts out 1332 rms x 1 @ 1 ohm

Just get the XXX 12 Dual 2 ohm versian.

lots of amps in the 1200-1500 watt range in that price bracket. Just find a decent class D amp in that power range. Memphis has one, Hifonics, Crossfire, DEI has several, JBL... mostly it'll depend on features and looks beyond that
