I don’t know a whole lot about the audiophile stuff, but I just added a Kicker ZX1500.1 and two kicker L7 Solobaric subs to my system. It really woke things up!! In my limited car stereo experience, I have found Kicker to be a good company. Just my two cents.

ok if you would like you can call me at 985-705-6182 after 1pm Central when i get out of school.
i have vast knowledge of audio equiptment...look at the video...i have the 2 12" pioneers in the back that have 400rms and 1000w peak. then the one in the front is the pioneer Premier 12". its 1000RMS and 3000MAX!
the amp is a kicker zx1000.1! i ran all 3 subs with that one amp! the 2 12" pioneers are single voice coil at 4ohm each. i wired them to 2ohm. the premier is dual voice coil at 4ohm. it is wired to 2 ohm also. when wired correctly the amp sees a 1.34 ohm load. the amp is rated for 2ohm but it will run the setup. with the amp and just the premier...i got another ported box for it...its a ProBox...(the best ported box ever!) i out beat a JL W7 12" sub!!!! im not joking either....i was very impressed! if ur interested i am looking to sell the Premier/box/& amp for $650.

Yikes... That is the worst concept for running subs I have ever heard.
NEVER mix different subs on the same amp. Its just a recipe for doom.
NEVER exceed the recommended load of the amplifier. Its not a matter of it will fail, its a matter of when.

RE: Best single sub and amp for <2K
yes and no. as stated earlier some brands are underrated...like kicker and jl. i am not an idiot. you have to know what the limits are. i know when the sub cant handle anymore...its all in the sound tuning. i had it set so that i could turn my headunit to as high as it would go and the subs and mids/highs would not distort. i run that setup for a very long time. yes the amp will shut its self off when it overloads. turn down the bass just a hair and there is no more problem. kicker makes top notch amps. but untill you hear it please do not talk smack out my knowledge or equiptment.
