I have a new amp that is 2000w X 2 (1/2 ohm stable). It is also 1500w
X 2 (1 ohm stable). Can someone please tell me how I can get the
maximum power at 1/2 ohm, and at 1 ohm. Tell me what subs would be
perfect for either or both.

Well, to get the maximum power at .5ohm.. run it at .5ohm. And for 1ohm,
run it at 1ohm.

As far as subs, thats based on taste and budget and preference and space
and enclosure design.

mind being specific about what amp this is?
first, I've never met a 2000x2 amp.. secondly, the method depends if it's
bridgable or not..

Is it a Boss 4000?

Bridge the channels so now you have a single channel one ohm stable

Get a dual 2 Ohm sub, or (2) dual 1 Ohm, or (2) dual 4 Ohm.

That amp probably does about 1000-1500Wrms. So pick subs to handle
that.

it is a Boss PD-4000

yeah, it is a Boss 4000. I ordered 2 15" dual 1 Ohm SPL's. which have
a 1400w continuous and 2800w max. Was that a good choice?

If it is, can you help me find a good box for the subs? I want a
unique box, like a bandpass or probox.

Uh if it really is 1400 W, I hope you bought a new alternator. From what I
remember Boss really overstates their power.

remember, you get what you pay for and if you didn't pay a lot, you probably
didn't get a lot.
