Need help deciding subs for 1500W Amp

Hey !
I have a 95 Honda Del Sol , and want to squeeze some nice subs in the back.
I have a 1500 Watt Clarion Amp (http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu..._DPX11500.aspx)
I Bought it used awhile ago for $100.00 ! And hooked it up with the subs i have now (Two 10" Alpine Type-S) until i make a bigger investment in better subs.

Now my question is what do you guys think would go with this amp ?
It already fried two of my Two 10" Infinity Reference subs, and i want to get a set of subs that wont be underpowered or overpowered.

I'm thinking either two Kicker 10" Solo-Baric L3's or two Alpine Type-R 10"'s.
I kinda wanna stick to 10's, because i find 12's leave me gasping for air and vibrating to death :P Unless there not all like that, just going by past experiences !

Looking forward to your response, and thanks for taking the time to read this!

Steve

I don't think the L3s will tolerate that power. If your other choice is TypeR, that would be the way to go.

Hertz hi energy 10s will be great depending on ur budget what is your budget? They are great subs and will have better sq then the type rs and won't get super loud I highly recommend them over the alpines

You have so many options it's rediculous. Shoot for 600-1000W RMS.

Check out SSA audio (sound solutions audio) ICON, Fi audio SSD or Q, Digital Designs, Hertz as mentioned, Ascendant Audio Havoc, Audioque.
