I have started a project. I bought an Ampere AA3800.1 amp, so I have 3800 rms available at 1 ohm and Ive heard the amp has some potential below 1 ohm. I would like to hear advice and opinion on some DC Audio Subs. I have been shopping, looked at Sundown Zv.4's and Soundqubed.. Im going to go DC on my build. I thought that 2 XL 12's would be a pretty nice for my application. I also had interest in the Lvl 5 15 and Lvl 6 18. I would want my box tuned between 32 and 35 hz going in the back of an 01 Seville. So some of my question are what kinda difference in sound quality would I get with 12's vs. 15 vs. 18? This is my daily driver, Im not very interested in competition DB but hard hitting deep bass. I listen mostly to rap, r&b, some dubstep when Im driving or the Frozen soundtrack when the kids are in the car... lol. Im going to go with a Mechman 320 amp alternator, and I would like to run dual with my 140 amp factory alternator for the car - 4 channel amp with XS batteries. So please offer gereral input, opinions, advice...

are you saying you did not like this amp? It's sitting in my closet right now :(... I knew a guy getting a divorce, wifey got the car and I got the amp for $400. Every thing else I'm going to buy new..

He's not saying the amp is bad, he's saying his pair of lvl 4s on the same amp could have taken more power.

if Im under powering the subs at what point should I be concerned about clipping the subs or amp.. I was looking at a thread a member was suggesting to someone that overpowering subs doesn't blow subs, under powering them does. I interpreted this as some people try to exceed the capabilities of their equipment by turning up the gains and volume to the point that clipping occurs. I liked the 2 XL 12 set up because it left me room to get into a bigger amp down the road, and with that amp I could get plenty out of them.. I know the amp is 1 ohm stable and have hear people going .5 ohm with it. When I order the subs I was unsure if I wanted the .7 or 1 ohm coils. Has does anyone have some feedback on that?
