If you wire that sub to a mono amp in parallel like you said above, you will drop it to a 0.75 ohm load. Since your amp is only rated to 1 ohm, chances are that it will not work for long that way. The only "safe" way to wire that sub to that amp is in series. You will then have a 3 ohm load.

I would recommend choosing a different setup. Those two just don't match very well. That amp would only make sense if you had two of those d1.5 subs. You could run them at 1.5 ohm. Even then, you would only be pushing about 600W each. Those subs can take much more power.

That is going to give you a 3 ohm load. That is the best you can do with this sub and amp.
