i just picked up the ap15001d a few weeks ago for a different sub set (pg octain r12d x2) so i guess my actual question is. does this particular amp need 16v to run 1500w @ 1 ohmmy new sub is 2ohm min so it'd be 900w

Nah, most amps are rated at 14.4v. Rarely do manufacturers rate their amps at 16v because most (not all) don't support that high of a voltage for their warranty.
