Man, that is really going to suck having to buy an amp and subs. I really liked the Ti1000, it powered my subs very well until my son put a nut inside of it without me knowing, then poof...........smoked the amp. Well, now I sortof have a reason to buy a new amp, too bad the Ti cost a lot of money

What meter was used when you were doing the 145's anyways?? If you keep with that amp, the biggest thing will be the box design. If you keep the amp, might i suggest an Fi Audio SSD. http://www.ficaraudio.com Get the biggest size that you can fit to optimize on displacement. Then we can help you out on box design if you need it :thumbsup

I had a 15 in the trunk, but a local company made a box for it(the Lightning 15), and had the sub firing up at an angle. It took them several times to make the box due to them not getting their dimensions right. The 12 that I have in there right now with a lot less power sounds just as good firing back towards the trunck opening. Oh, the TL one was used at the local competetions.

You want somewhere between the Mini-me but closer to the J-Lo assload of power :)
Massive Audio P1500.1... 1500 x 1ch. @ 1ohm ;)
Costs less than the advertised price of the PG too :)
And if ya got room for them 2) 12" CW12s
That would get ya a lil closer to your numbers with the right enclosure.

I did some research, and I think that I might go with either the RE XXX12 or more likely the Fi BTL12. But as for power, still not sure what I am going to do. For right now, I will get the Ti fixed, and meanwhile continue reading posts and talking to you experts on the amp(s) I am going to use. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about the PG Xenon monoblocks?

Just so you know, the RE XXX is very equivalent to the Fi Q. They use opposite technologies, but the outcome is close to the same.

And the BTL... unless you have 2k+.... I would go for the Fi SSD with the flatwind coil or the Fi Q. The SSD or Q will be more efficient than the BTL with 2k or down of power. If you want just DB Drag, go with the SSD because you can make if have more of a peakier responce than a Q to get it louder at the frequency you want. But if you want to do a Bass Race setup, go with the Q.

Oh, and I used to have a PG X600.1. I liked it because of its reglated power supply and did its rated power at 1-4ohm like the JL slash amps.... at a cheaper cost. It was a good amp, way better than their new lines.
