how about someone recommend a single sub, single amp... lol... i have too many options... and will never be able to choose... sumone mention 2 single subs, and a single amp that will make me be heard... lol

Keep your US Acoustics amp.  It puts out a clean 375 watts into 2 ohms.  Spend yur money on a 12" Adire Brahma (can be had for around $350) and a custom enclosure for it built by a local shop (~$150).   The Brahma will sound pretty sweet with 375 watts, and then after you save your money for a few months go get a more powerful amp in the 1000 watt range.

You can find the Brahma at www.adireaudio.com and i agree with DYohn, in a custom enclosure you better believe that you will be heard. They don't require that 1600 RMS to be brought to full excursion as it says in the site, you can use significantly less power. That 375 is plenty if you build the right enclosure.

You can buy it right off the site here http://www.adireaudio.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=AA&Category_Code=2000 and as for an amp, they really don't require much power. There is a video on their site of a shiva pumping at 60 W and it was moving. As for what you should give to of them, i would ask Steve Kephart, who is the real deal from Adire. I myself have been curious about their power ratings, as they follow suit with the Brahma of needing significantly less power to push them to full output.
Here are the statistics from the site:
PARAMVALUEPARAMVALUE
Re2.9 ohmsLe2.12 mH
Qms6.5Mms125 grams
Qes0.40Cms0.47 mm/N
Qts0.38Rms2.54 N*s/m
Fs21 HzSd481 cm^2
Vas151 litersBL11.3
Xmax16.6 mm one wayEBP51
SPL87.3 dB @ 1W/1mNo0.37%
Pmax375W per voice coil; 650W total to the driver
NOTE: Power rating is thermal only!  It is NOT a power requirement; typically you get full output with significantly less power than the rating.
PRICE$125.00

 You can't just buy some subs and put them on any box (specially a ported box).

The box has to match the sub.

Not all subs are the same and they all require different enclosures. So what ever you end up buying you will either have to get a new box to go with your subs or find subs that will match your box and then have the box tuned to the specs of the subs.

Here start with this : https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxes.asp

Very true, you will have to have your boxed tuned to different woofers. You can't throw a 15" Pyle into a box built for a 15'' Juggernaut and expect it to sound right...

A 12" Brahma in a good ported enclosure will give you plenty of bass and if u wanted to upgrade to a more powerful amplifier later...you could look into the JBL BP600.1 off www.sounddomain.com ..It's well under $200  and quite underrated. The two tricks to that amp is RCA splitters and an F-Mod, because it lacks a SSF..just an idea

Also..i know someone who's running a 15" Brahma off the 600.1 and hits 134db all day long

you're box is 3.65^ft..I highly doubt it would work well with the 2 shivas..spend the money and have a box professionally made to it's specs..whether you go ported or sealed is your choice..personall id go ported..that's just my opinion
