Out of the 3 I would go with the Infinity or Kickers. But is that 1800watt amp the peak power rating or RMS?

Be sure you are looking at RMS numbers and not peak numbers from both the sub and amp. And deep bass also comes from the enclosure that the subs are in, so dont overlook that.

ya make sure the rms of the amp can power the rms of the subs...kickers are deff. good sound and good quality subs but infinitys are also very good so whichever works for u..but dont go with audiobahns cus kicker or infinitys will deffinatly hit harder and sound a lot better

i have kicker comps with an 1800 watt amp and man does that shit hit
i def. recomend them and they get like 400 rms which is about what your amp will put out anyway so they sound really nice

i haven't heard the other ones though

when running two subs, bridging them should be mandatory, it helps the overall preformance of ur amp.
