What is the best type of speaker to use with a Power BD1000 Amp?

I just bought a Fosgate Power BD1000 amp and I want to know what type of sub would produce the hardest/loudest bass. It is a mono amp with RMS 1x500 watts and 2 Ohm 1x1000 watts. I want to push the full 1000 watts and I don't know how or what sub would be best. Please help.

a single 2ohm or dual 4ohm sub, or a pair of dual 2ohm or dual 8ohm subs would be what you want. If you want us to give specific recommendations we'll need a price range.

i'd say we need a budget and space requirements, but i'd say a good match would be 2 adire shivas, you can run those at 2 ohms, and that would get loud, and still sound good.....

i don't know if that amps 1 ohms stable, but if it i go with a brahma, and if not go with an IDMAX, the IDMAX will save you alot of money, so you can spend it on a nice box or sound deadening

so thats about 475$ for the brahma(15) vs 300 for the idmax(12)

either will get very loud, and sound very good, if it were me i'd choose the idmax, and spend the extra 175 on something else.
