Probably but from what i have heard from people on here and actually at my local shops there isnt much SPL difference between using a 1501 and an 801 maybe just a few more notches on the volume nob to make up for it and that way your not beating it as much its also cheaper than the 1501D too and you had metioned not wanting to spead too much

I guess what i'm saying is that ive heard an 9500 with an 801D on it and it sounded just as loud as mine does with the 1000 watts on it so i guess it comes down to the money you want to spend

Make sure when you get your amp you see this forum for info on setting gain. Using a number like 3/4 or 1/2 or even 1/4 is completely arbitrary and has nothing to do with proper gain setting. Cheers!

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
