+1 on the 15". The example I heard only had 600watts and was very sick indeed. Rich, he is practically giving that sub away. There will be a lucky buyer somewhere.

Diamond D61000.1 or D61500.1(which I am running). Lifetime warranty. If you don't want the warranty and want a bit less pricey an amp, look into the Kicker 1250.1's.

I like the 15' sub idea, i just have a few questions, how many watts? What would be a good, cheap(around75) box for it? and those amps you posted about "Diamond D61000.1 or D61500.1" are pretty expensive, im looking around 200, 250, any reccomendations for a decent amp at that price?

No warranty. Will not do 1000watts continuous anywhere under 14.4volts. I would choose to pay for a warranty and getting the wattage I paid for.

My $.02.

Seriously, just call or PM Don. He could probably put you in a D3 for around there. Remember, you WILL ALWAYS get what you pay for.

I have a few questions about the enclosure, i have already figured out what i am going to do for the sub, im going with the 15, and the amp, i believe i am going with the power acoustik A1800DB. What kind of enclosure would be reccomended, ported or sealed? and any ideas for where to purchase one of these enclosures?
