With 3 4ohm dual vc subs your options are

2.66 ohms

or

.66

You might be able to pull off the .66 with the imp rise that could bring you up to 1 ohm...correct me if I'm wrong.... or you could wire them to the 2.66 which is almost 3 ohm. So either way you want an amp that will put out the comined RMS of those subs which is 1500 watts and tehn some.

so if i got a rockford fosgate 1501bd that would give me the power i need right?

thanks for the help

It would give you over a 1000 watts which IMO would be perfect. They make solid amps that put out their rated power and then some.

It'll do more than 1500rms. I've seen some benched well over 1700rms.

It is 1500 watts @ 2ohm and your set-up will be closer to 3 ohm. I assume that the 3 ohm setup would be in the middle even though it is not listed. But like many have said before this is an estimate and you will likely be around 1000-1500 watts running around 13.8 volts which would be perfect.

750 watts 4ohm

1000 watts 3ohm

1500 watts 2ohm

its a good choice IMO, many top SPL competitiors run that amp,
