The ones I have are rated at 1250. Would easily handle more. A lot of that depends on the enclosure size and design. If you have room for a large enclosure you can make it really efficient and use lower power. If you have a small enclosure you can easily run more power. You will still come up relatively to the same SPL. One just requires less power and smaller amp. Which is good if you are Ballin on a budget. Hoffmans iron law.

I’m running the SSA icons. I’m an SSA snob so I would go for the Gcon’s although there are probably a little over your price budget. Otherwise the demons are pretty sweet if you’re not dead set on 2k.Just ordered a pair myself yesterday! Otherwise go check out the subs in as a SSA store as there are a few that meet your criteria. As far as battery I just run an AGM from O’Reillys auto parts. I ran XS and Optima batteries in the past. Nothing really special about a high dollar one if you can get away with the one at the part store.

I’m running 2k to a pair of 15”s on a stock 130 amp alternator with 2 AGM battery’s. Plus two other amps for mids and highs. Stock alternator handles it fine and did well with just one battery. You should be golden with 2k as long as you get a stout battery. If you like to listen at full tilt for long periods you may need to upgrade or add a second battery. But I would suggest just starting with a good AGM under the hood and going from there.
