Sub died, looking for options

[buildinggam]

Hello everyone, I feel like every 2 weeks I come here with a different question.  Sorry for that, I just lost my American bass xd1244 and am looking into replacements.  Current box is 1.75 cuft tuned to 32hz, my amp is an Orion xtr1500.1d, my car is a 2012 Altima sedan.

I was running the American bass sub at 2ohm and would like to run the next one at 1ohm to maximize the output of my amp.  The amp is rated 1500rms at 12.4v but the birth sheet says total rms is 1730, the voltage is not listed.  

I really don't know what I want for the next setup, I has thought about a couple of 8's in a smaller box so I could have more trunk space, would 8's be able to take that power and not cost an arm and a leg?  If not what would be some good brands for 12's that won't really break the bank but take the power of the amp?  For budget I'd like to keep it below say $350.

I would go with one of the Refurbished Sundown subs.  Could get some SA 8v.3's for like $260 shipped.  Or maybe a X 12v.2.for a little more.  Lots of options.

There are lots of options in that price/power range. 

Fi SSD 12 is the first that comes to mind.

I second the Fi ....any of the Fi subs tbh. Built to order, handmade in US too. Satisfied with my recent order.

You could look at the skar evl 12. Or a pair of the vvx 12s.

Thanks guys, a question about the ssd12 it says rms is 1250 if my amp does end up putting out 1700rms wouldn't I just run into potentially damaging the sub?

Not likely if the signal is clean, but you can always turn the gain down.

You can easily put 2,000 watts (or more) to a 1250 watt rated sub as long as you are observant.  You should have nothing to worry about.

I run 3k to 3 Sundown SA 10’s rated at 600RMS each , clean power and they love it been banging for 2yrs now no issues . Distortion is the number one killer of subs people always want louder and turn the gain just alittle bit more and boom , subs gone.

I would recommend you the Fi SSD Neo 12, it's $359 and it's rated 1750W RMS.
