The subs I am choosing between are the Lanzar OPTI1533D Dual 1.2 Ohm and the MA Audio EHO152 Dual 2 Ohm. The Lanzar is 3000 Watts RMS and the MA Audio is 2500 Watts RMS. The Lanzar peaks at 6000 watts and the MA Audio peaks at 5000 watts.

Here is what I am hooking it up to. Its a Kole Audio Trax1-5500D. Here is the specs on the amp.

RMS Power Rating:
4 ohms: 1700 watts x 1 chan.
2 ohms: 2500 watts x 1 chan.
1 ohm: 3200 watts x 1 chan.
Max power output: 5500 watts x 1 chan.

All feedback appreciated.

If you know of a subwoofer that can handle 3200 watts RMS at 1 Ohm and be able to handle the unlikely peak of 5500 watts all by itself let me know.

I only want to put ONE subwoofer in the trunk. Either a 15 inch or an 18 inch sub. Thats it. ONE sub has to handle all that power my amp puts out.
 
I would suggest getting dual 2 ohms because dual 1.2 ohm will only wire to 2.4 or 0.6 ohms. 99% of amps can't handle under a 1 ohm load, and will fry in a day or cut off in a minute. There are a couple subs that hit hard like no other, but cost in the high hundreds and lower thousand dollars. Check these out:

Pioneer Premier TS-W5102SPL (dual 4 ohm, wire to 2 ohms and you have perfect wattage) 2500w at 2 ohms (can handle 3200 easy)
RE audio XXX 15" - 2000w RMS at 1 ohm, can handle easily 2800w,
so just turn the gain down a wee bit and you have some bumping stuff man. Both of these subs have high ratings in spl and sq.

Either those or your subs you listed are pretty good, anything above 2000w will be heard around the block, so you don't have to worry about the spl.
