I now have the kicker 1200.1 running 2 fosgate xlc 8s and im really not happy with my bass!

Im running 2 ohms for 600wrms so i'm thinking i need to get the 1 ohm load here to get the 1200wrms the amp is capable of.

The 8s are 200wrms a peice and there taking the power this amp is pushin like champs,but theres no "boom"

So heres my choices: Get 2 more 4 ohm 8s(ive heard mixing sizes is a no no)

or find some dvc 12s, Seems i'm wasting alot of potential on the 8s?

Any suggestions?

If I already had an amp like that the very first sub I would buy is the Adire Brahma 12.

Dude trash those 8"s.  Get a good 12" (or two) or a couple of 10".  8" are good for some midbass.  They really can't "boom" as good at 10" and 12".

Just a testimonial............Im using the same amp and push 4 Kicker Comp. CVR 10s.  I have the bass levels all the way down those things hit so hard. I agree with everyone else and ditch the 8s.

The only 8's I have ever been impressed with are the w6 jl or the w7 jl, but thats about it with 8's    they are mainly only for mid's    Go with some 10's or 12's or 1 quality 10 or 12

well the best I think your are going to be able to get is a 2.66 ohm load, but wiring the coils in series, then wiring all the sub in parallel

If you are interested, I have several Diamond Audio DVC4 12" Subs. They will give you the bass your looking for.

Mac Daddy Dual 4ohm 12's (qty 4),  M5 Dual 4ohm 12's (qty 2). Will consider any reasonable offer or interesting trades?
