hey guys, my amp finally arrived, it puts out 900W RMS (2000 max) @ 1 ohm (class d) and i dont know what sub combo to hook up to it. just after some recommendations. should i get a DVC with 2ohms/coil or 2 DVC with 4ohms/coil or 2 SVC 2ohm/coil. i dont want to spend too much and am kind of limited for space.

will 4 ga wire be enough for this kind of power? ive read that it wont be, but the owners manual says 4ga (or bigger)

yeah i was thinking 2 ga but sh*t its hard to find here, gotta get it specially sent in. not really more than 600 aus $. i know its not much, but the info on had on the amp before i bought it off ebay didnt mention it was 1 ohm stable and i want to use it to (almost) its full potential. i was thinking of a planet audio DVC 12" 2400W, 2 ohm per coil. i know they are good for amps, but how are they for subs?
