is your amp rated to be 1 ohm stable?
otherwise you'll need to use the coils in series for a 4 ohm load.
I'm assuming you have a sub with dual 2 ohm coils.. your message was hard to read.

you'll be fine using a 1Kw sub on a 1200w amp.
that margin is fine.

acually idk what stable it is heres the specs Number of Channels 1 - Mono
RMS Power (4 ohms) 550 watts x 1 chan.
RMS Power (2 ohms) 1100 watts x 1 chan.
RMS Power (1 ohm) 1600 watts x 1 chan.
Bridged RMS Power Not Bridgeable
Peak Power Output 3200 watts approx.
and so ur saying its ok to run higher power cuz im goign run one T2 40hm or 2ohm havent chose yet 15inch sub on it?

RMS Power (1 ohm) 1600 watts x 1 chan.

wire the coils in parallel, but be very careful. you're going 60% over the rated power capability of the subs.
I'd keep the gain set near minimum and be very gentle with the volume, keeping any bass boost settings at zero or in the negatives to prevent damage to the subs.
you can use bigger amps than rated on a sub, but you need to be careful doing it..

still 50% over the rated power handling for the speaker.

try the Brutus 1500D by Hifonics
its about $200 or so online, and rated for 1500x1 @ 1 ohm, but the truth is, it puts out about 1000 watts at 1 ohm.. its overrated, so it fits your needs just right

dual 2 ohm coils.
wire the coils in parallel to the amp and you have your 1 ohm load.
you'll be fine with the fifteen if that's what you want

depends on a lot of factors.. listen to a car with two tens and a car with a fifteen and see which you like the feel of better

well if I wanted to build a SQ system instead of something to impress others, I would use the tens.
if I wanted something that'd rattle my teeth I'd get the fifteen.
personally I like using a pair of 12" subs in my cars.. great compromise between a ten and a fifteen

right you are. good catch.
the tens will still hit pretty hard.. you'll just get a much deeper feel with the fifteen
especially if you port the box for that fifteen very low, like about 25-28Hz

each sub is dual 4 ohm coils.
wire the coils in parallel for a pair of "2 ohm" subs
then wire the subs in parallel and you have a 1 ohm load

I 2nd that. Spend the extra $$$ and get the 12s. I would also go with the two 12s over the 15.

The music you listen to can also influence your decision for which subs. To me 12s have always seemed to give the best mix of punch and boom. If all you listen to is Rock and Metal, then you may want the 10s.

To get the most output from your amp, you need to wire the subs in parallel for a 2 ohm load. You really need DVC 4 ohm subs, so you can run the amp at 1 ohm.
