Whenever you have the choice, take the higher impedance.

By higher impedance you mean the 4ohm over the 2 ohm. ANd if so Why?

I think Cam meant 2 ohm over 1 ohm, then again he said 3518's so maybe he did mean 4ohm, if 's means two, so he could run them off a 1 ohm load, seeing as .5 ohm takes a hell of a charging system, relative to the power, and can be really hard on the amp if you don't know what your doing or the amp doesn't do well at .5 ohm.

get the 1ohm mmats amp and get the sub accordingly. who knows. you might want to change your amp in the future. finding another 1ohm stable amp is alot easier than finding another amp that is .5ohm stable. always think about the future. lol

I would do it a little different.

Go for the 1/2 ohm amp.
And get dual 1ohm subs.

For street beating, run them series/parallel. The amp will supply PLENTY of power at 1 ohm.

Then, for burping at competitions, you can wire them all parallel to 1/4 ohm load. ;)
