What amp is best for my set up? HELP PLEASE!!!

[jbarrows5109 10+ year member]

Okay, I have two(2) DD 1508 4ohm dvc's in my truck powered by a DD CM1 right now. I feel that the amp just isnt pushing it enough. I set my gains and everything but I want some more bump so my question is, should I get a DD M1, M2 or M3? What is BEST for my set up?

an m2 will be too much power,look for something around 1200 -1500 watts rms.maybe also reconsidering the box you have them in

well i have a custom box built and ported exatly to spec (thats what my builder told me). Like it sounds good at a medium level but when i turn it up, it sounds as if my subs dont have enough power.

how big is the box

6x53 and the top is 3"s wide with a 15" port. Its pretty much a big wedge with a 15" port on top. My 8's set at the bottom left and my port is on the upper right (if you're looking at the box directly).

I ran 1000rms to each of my 1508's with no problems. Sounded great on my AQ2200 with the gains set to feed 1000 to each.

What do you mean when you ask, what is it tuned to? Once again, I'm new to car audio so I don't really know much about tuning and stuff like that but its in a 2007 Ford Sport Trac sitting behind the rear seats. When I first got it, the box what flexing so my builder went ahead and braced it so that it would stop flexing and it actually helped A LOT. But what do you think it might be. Because I spent $300 for this box and I'm going to make it work.Lol
