Have a question about which voice coils to go with, dual 1ohm or dual 2 ohm?

The dual 2ohm will give me a 1ohm load which is 1200wRMS from the 1200d while dual 1 ohm will give me a 2ohm load which is 870wrms.

The sub is "rated" at 1000wrms but I have watched a bunch of videos and alot of people have written about giving them alot more power.

So my question:

Do I play it safe and go with the 870wrms or can this sub handle the 1200wrms without being damaged?

Thank you.

Dual 2 ohm and beat that HDC!

or you could buy another 1200d, daisy chain them together, buy the dual 1 ohm sub and run it at 2ohms daisy chained so you can give the sub 2400 watts and make it really happy.
