[QUOTE="x2o, post: 6611507, member: 582175"] Oh, upon re-reading the OP, I see why the guy recommended two 3000's. The OP states two 1500's to each sub. If this really is what you meant, no, the subs will not take 3000w each. I think the problem is wiring. Your subs are D2. Meaning two 2ohm voice coils per sub. Wiring the coils in parallel will give each sub a 1ohm load. You can either wire each sub to it's own AP1500 at 1 ohm(not recommended due to gain matching, easier to strap), or series the pair and run them at 2 ohm on an AP3000. Or strap the two 1500's and also run at 2 ohms. [/QUOTE]
