1st off yes the XXX can be powered 1500w. But then again your amp won't give you that full performance. Ur brustus will end up feeding it around ~1100-1200w.

not alot of low powered amps are stapable

but if you get one its really easy just go by the directions,

1 amp is master 1 is slave

slave gets all the settings ie:gain, lpf ssf, bass boost from the master amp via a cable of some sort

then connect the amps negatives together via a wire and run 1 pos from a amp to pos on su and pos on diff amp to neg on sub

Lets review.

The XXX (the old one anyway, which is the only one you can get right now) has an RMS of 1600.

Any reason why youre asking if you can power it with 1500?

Also, x2 on the brutus not giving it the whole 1500- but it will be enough to get it going very well. No need to get a better amp, like the other guy said. Youll be fine.

There's no need, but I would put something of a bit better quality on a $400+ sub...

i ran a XXX on 2000rms daily and it loved it

You will be underpowering it with 1200 rms

If that's underpowering, what was I doing with only 400 on mine? It sounds great with that amount of power. There is plenty of potential volume left, but it was loud enough and there was zero distortion.

The difference between 1200W and 1600W is less than 1dB. There is no reason that you have to run max RMS to a sub anyway, unless you just need to validate your pathetic life. Don't turn down the volume, you'll underpower your sub!

the dude already has the amp so just use it. i wouldn't have purchased that amp but since you have it use it. should pair up well
