alright, so by the end of the month i should be ordering my fully loaded btl and i was wondering if the amp is going to be able to push out enough power. i know that the btl can take 2000 rms, but my amp is pushing 1200 rms. is the amp going to be pushing the sub enough so that its pretty loud until i buy my new one?

No its not worthy. I reckon it'll get you by but it won't even be close to its potential. You'll need closer to 3000watts for a loaded BTL.

YEah, the 1200d only puts out like 1050 at best i think. It pushes my L7 15" pretty well, but i'm wishing I would have bought the 1600, because it hits distortion before the sub is at it's fullest potential.

It's a great amp, but not powerfull enough for your application, you'd want the bxi2006d if you go hifonics

So since you're going to run a pair of the bx1205d's then you're getting a dual 1ohm sub, correct? If so then how do you plan to wire up a T20001bd? You'll need a dual 2ohm sub for that one.
