Hmm I just bought this...

why can u not conceive the concept of 1500 watts being more than 1000 watts....
The 1500D is only 1100w RMS.

But yeah....not really sure why he thinks swapping in an amp of (at most) equivalent power is going to result in an increase in output.

And I absolutely loath Niche Audio's website

 
yeah the 1500D is rated 1100wrms and 1500 max

I too do not think this will be a good step up. that 1500D is a good amp.

Maybe what you need is a different enclosure or a second sub? Or depending on the power rating of the sub a BIGGER amp. 1200wrms+ or something?

100 watts more will not make a noticable differance.

X2.

I've actually been dropping power lately in favor of small footprint amplifiers and single sub setups.

Went from a pair of American Bass VFL Cast Extreme 12d4s, and a VFL 150.1 to an Arc 2500-XXK on a Flatline 12d2...

and now sitting on a concept HP-135.2 running an AA 15 Atlas.

I couldn't notice much of a difference between an ARC 400.2, and the Arc 600.4, even with the extra 200wrms.

I agree. I only stated that because if you are going to buy another amp then why not buy a larger one. as in anything larger than what you have. The OP went with a smaller amp. I guess a smaller BETTER amp would make sence though.
