Im in the process of putting together a system for my '02 Trailblazer...i've decided on a single Q12...just wondering whether i should go with the Dual 1 or Dual 2? what the difference between the two are and whether i should get the "BP Power" option? Im also looking for an amp for the sub...any suggestions?

dual 2, so you can find an amp that puts out more power at 1 ohm

^^^^ you match the sub to the amplifier when you can, not the other way around.

Choose an amp, if its 2 ohm stable you want the dual 1 sub, if its 1 ohm stable you want the dual 2 sub.

If you want a nice strong amp in that price range, the RD1000.1 would be nice and will be fine on stock charging. If my Focus can handle it, anything can hehe.

Like others above have been trying to tell you... get the SAE1000D. Not only does a Q12 not need any more power than that, Orion doesn't make the 1200D anymore and if you are talking about the D1200, that amp only puts out 600RMS @ 1ohm and the Sundown SAZ1500 would be too much for your stock alt. Get the dual-2 Q12 and the 1000D and you're good to go.
