you have 800 RMS @2ohms. if you want 1 woofer and price is not a problem a diamond D9 15 would be boss in my book

800 @ 2 would push an Eclipse SW9122 beautifully! You have a decent amount of power (at least it's a class D) to supply to any good sub. You can find a lot of subwoofers that will get you some awesome sound...but don't forget about your enclosure. Without a good one, they can all sound like, like, like....you know!

I don't know if I would push the Kenwood to 1 ohm. Unless you got 2 - 2 ohm DVCs that were rated around 400-500 each. I'd keep that amp at 2 ohm or greater IMHO.
