Questions : Dual-1 vs. Dual-2 Coil & Options

I'm going to order a SSD10 and plan to load it in a sealed box w/ .63 airspace (after displacement) and power it w/ a Sundown SAE-1000D (are there other recommended amps for the SSD10?)

Questions:

1. I'm guessing I should get the dual 1-ohm coils and wire them in series to get 2-ohms (600w) ... since dual 2-ohm coils wired in series would result in 4-ohms (only 300w) and dual 2-ohm coils wired in parallel would overpower the speaker (1-ohm, 1000w), correct?!?

2. Since this is going to be a daily driving setup and I'm more interested in SQ, should I consider any other options besides the copper coil upgrade?

Mucho thanks for any help / insight.

Nothing wrong with having a little headroom. I'd go with dual 2's and wire to 1 ohm and just mind your settings properly. It's better to not have to use all the amp to power the woofer sufficiently, rather than clip it and make up for power that you simply do not have on tap.

Thanks!
