[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8447253, member: 614752"] If "under powering" a woofer was bad you'd have to play it ONLY at max volume all the time. The 2K amp run at 2 ohms would sound better and be more efficient (run cooler)... if you have the dough for the bigger amp. Keep in mind subs are dual coil so you'll want a dual 4 or dual 1 ohm to make 2 ohm for the amp or a dual 2 to make 1 ohm for the amp. The SQ HDC3 15 is rated for 1500W. Personally I think that's a little bit optimistic but you'd have to try to break it with a 1500W amp and that's the level to which they warranty it. [/QUOTE]
