he said 2 off 3000..and yes they could take the 1500 a piece..that amp u got is only pushin 900 watts..

relax, it will be ok, i promise, they can take 1500 each in the proper box and gain setting...

Use whatever meter showed you "around 142-143" and test them facing up and see which is louder...

Maybe in a small sealed box with the gains turned down, so they're not seeing 1500watts. RL-P's only need around 750, so feeding them double that for daily will burn em up. Mine would get pretty stinky off a single 1500D if cranked for a few songs in a row, and gain was set properly...

The RL-P is a TC-9 which is rated at 1kW each. They can take more power in the proper enclosure. 1500 RMS for a long period of time might be tough, but unless you're just hammering them continually in the parking lot, I don't think I'd worry.

Are your RL-Ps dual 4 or dual 2? if they're dual 4 and you have 'em hooked up at 1 ohm, then you're likely getting about 750RMS each to them.... that amp should push about 1500 RMS. If they're dual 2s, then you're prolly hooked at 2 ohms, and they're lucky to be getting 500RMS each.

You subs CAN take more power than you're giving them, either way. 3kW? Mmmmmm not sure continually, but short-term.... prolly.

i think there dual 4 im not sure i bought them from a friend... they hit and hit hard ok so your telling me that if got the HIFONICS BRUTUS BXi2006D 2000W amp that it would be louder...

Setting gains properly won't tell you if the power is clipped or not. Sending each 750 with a square wave increases the DC heating equivalence.
