Something you would buy only if you were going to torture your

subs with double the rated power for 30 seconds at comps. I think

it's a hole in the motor that helps dissipate heat. You can search it

on this section. I believe it changes the t/s slightly.

BP option adds cooling and some other features. It adds 200-500 rms more depending on the model. I have a single 12" Q powered by a SAZ-1500D. I think you would be fine with the 3000D seeing as you will never see the full 3000 due to impedance rise and everything. If they start getting warm or smelling, just turn the amp down a little. Its better to have a little too much so you can have control instead of trying to squeeze everything you can out of a smaller amp.
