Default Options for subs with high power handling

Subwoofers have no power, only amps have power. The sub is an accoustic
motor that runs on fuel called wattage. No car amp puts out it's stated
power. It has a power supply which supplies the wattage as the subwoofer
"asks" for it. Subwoofers don't, as a rule, blow from too many watts per
channel. They blow from not enough wattage per channel. If you wan't to
minimize and make things last a long time, run the woofers at four ohms or
two ohms but not at one ohm. P.

A friend of mine is trying to minimize the subwoofer setup in his car. He
has a pair of Autotek sx1200 (1200W each @ 1ohm)
I am wondering what offerings are available to blend with his current

power
setup. The JL 13W7 would work (roughly 800W per VC @ 1.5ohm) what else

would
you recommend.
I haven't bought a sub in years, so I am kinda jumping in and seeing what

I
can find for him.

BTW ... space is not and issue, and $ is only a small issue.

TIA,
