don't be fooled by max rating. not only useless but very misleading.

look for RMS @ Ohms.

Then get a speaker to match with similar RMS @ OHMS

Alpine SWX-1242D 234 U.S.

Kicker 06 S12L7 4-ohm 175. U.S.

You can buy used from the forsale section on this site.

I'm sure the vendors would love to sell you something.

But you'd be better off to go to your local audioshop. Look, Listen, Feel, Compare, then buy.

Good Luck!

alright sounds good thanks..
these r specs for my amp. what should i be lookin for in a sub?
KAC-9152D main features:
1,800 Watts max power
500 Watts x 1 max (4 ohms) RMS
900 Watts x 1 (2 ohms) RMS
900 Watts x 1 (1 ohms) RMS
Wired remote control to adjust boost level and frequency included
'Dual mono drive' configuration option (requires two KAC-9152D amplifiers & specialist knowledge!)
Aluminium die-cast heat sink
Detachable aluminium top cover
All connections on one side for easy multi-amplifier installations
Built-in Variable Low-pass Filter 50-200Hz (24dB/oct)
Built-in Infrasonic Filter 15Hz/25Hz (18dB/oct) to cut unwanted ultra-low frequencies
'Kenwood logo triangle' design power indicator LED
1 ohm stable
Gold plated RCA line input & line output terminals
Speaker level input option. RCA line outputs
Power MOSFET switching power supply
'D' class amplification circuits throughout, using switching techniques instead of the linear methods used in Class 'A' or 'B' type amplifiers. Class 'D' is a significantly more efficient than Class 'A' or 'B', resulting in greater power with less heat generation, higher stability and improved reliability

Agreed. Not all drivers are made the same. Ignore the specs for now and let your ears decide...

Best,
