sub suggestions for 2krms

need some suggestions for a new sub(s) for my orion 2500D id prefferably wanna get the 1700rms at 2 ohm or the 2400rms at 1 ohm outta it. im wanting to by from canada not the states. budget isnt really set now just want options to look into. i want it to be f***ing loud. im thinking of seeing how a mach 5 spl sounds on my amp, another option would be 2 12" mach 5 ixls but mark at mach 5 said the ixl is more of a sq driver so 2 probly wouldnt be my bet, maybe even 3 12" type rsss (providing space) what are some options i got here?

I'd go for a pair of SSA Xcon's if your looking at spending around a grand. SQ drivers that can flat out **** and easily handle 2500 between the pair. The IXL's would work alright on a budget (400 for a pair of 12's), and would be wired @ 2 ohms, so they would be well within their rms range. Those would be my 2 recommendations. If you want more of a flat out driver, check out audioque or digital designs. The DD 3515 and AQ HC3 would get retarded loud.

yes i know, 30 minute drive
wow i got it hooked up just at 4 ohm cuz i tuned it myself so i dont wanna
f this one up so its staying at 1k till i get a proper box and get it
tuned at the shop, but mark said stick it in the box i have no 1.8@33hz and
i think its great so far. its got way more potential too.
jalat think u could do up a design for me if i give you some dimensions?
im trying for the rec. for the spl (3@36hz)

I would also look at the Sundown Nightshade and the RD Audio Alpha woofers.
