Sub setup advice

Ok. I have my stock BA system with the ******** harness. I am running a memphis 500 watt class d amp @1 ohm into a 10 inch kicker cvr aluminized sub in a sealed enclosure. It's a dual 2 ohm voice coil, hence I have wired it to 1 ohm for the amps full 500 watts. It sounds great but I want to run 2 10's. Question is I notice a huge gap between good subs that need decent power and great subs that need gobs of power, Anyone have any advice on what two subs to run with my amp. I know I want dual 4 ohm so i can wire them down to 1 ohm. My friend loaned me the current kicker i am using. Please discuss...

Others may disagree with me on this, Bill, but I am a huge opponent of running subs down into 1ohm. Figure out how to run the sub on 4ohm and power it with that load.

Take a read on the Leviathan amp put out by Zed Audio, gives a good right up on the 1ohm issue.

Cheers

Budget? Box size? Personally, I would go with Image Dynamics.

ARC Audio Kar Series.
Earthquake Tremor Series
REI entry/mid end
Diamond C series?
JL W0
..and most likely ported to get decent bass for the power available...

I'm not far off from that. Bought the Kicker 750.1 Amp & 2 10" subs cvr's. Enclosed box. Just enough bass for what was missing stock. ********.com System has been in almost a year with no issues.
