Question for my friend

this question is for a friend of mine. Due to his interest in my new purchase of an 12" Fi BTL....he just ordered 2 15" Fi BL's capable of 1000-1300W rms and 2000W peak.
His question for me was how many watts he should have. and how many ohms it should be running off.
Here is the link for the fi bl's.... https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraud...iew.shopscript

He has the Dual 2 Ohm version

Thanks in advance,
Zach

he should have got dual 4 ohm.then he could have found an amp that will do 1500 watts or more at 1 ohm.

or he could get 2 amps that can play at 1 ohm mono.

if he can change them tell him to do it...he'll get more power out of a 1 ohm stable amp than runnig it at 2 ohms
