MTX 5601 indeed because its a class D..class d amps are good for bass. Its also a mono block so you would not have to bridge it. The boss is worth less save it for your highs. Because you say you would like to run it a 2 ohm...the boss amp does not give you the specs for running at 2 ohm...so it would be a risky. With the mtx you can get 600 watts output at 2 ohm so I would go with the mtz...to be blunt both amps are wothless
I love sound

So I am guessing I will be getting a very similar answer about a power acoustik amplifier? Just had to ask. I also have been offered an ultimate amplifier 600 rms 1200 peak brand new for 250$ CAD but I dont really trust the guy, it is from a flea market (first reason why) and all the stats he told me about amplifier I went home and looked up and were false, plus he told me to wire my subwoofer in a series to have a 1 ohm load to the amp, now correct me if im wrong but dual 4 ohm voice coils wired in a series present a 8 ohm load correct? Is ultimate a better company to trust over mtx? is it worth the extra 100$?

Ultimate is also flea market crap. You are looking in the flea market range of products, you are going to get flea market crap. Boss, Ultimate, Power Acrapstick etc. Come up with a budget and we can find you a real amp.

Dual 4 ohm coils wired in series = 8 ohms. Dual 4 wired in parallel = 2 ohms.

I will not ever be able to afford these 1$ per watt amps. Is there a company that is "on top" of the flea market world? One that there claim of wattage is close to real output? I have heard impressive thing from ultimate and people who buy ultimate...but the difference is I have never heard the high end of the audio world but I have heard high middle class stuff and I feel it compares. Im still shopping and refuse to rush into any purchase before researching and proving the best deal, and will always seeks other opinions before buying.

If you pronounce it Bose...get your head out of your ***...Bose is overrated overhyped crap.
Boss sucks.
FYI, that subwoofer will not survive being fed a real 1000 watts RMS.

MTX would be the solid choice. Not a big sq amp for speakers but plenty of good power for your Audiobahn 1505 sub.

Isn't the 1505 or the 05 series dual 2ohm subs? And yes it will take the power no problem as long as you set your amp right. I ran 1000rms to my Alum15 off a JL 1000/1 all day with no porblem.  Any idot can blow any sub with a 300watt amplifier. A good installer will never make that mistake.

Audiobahn has some great subs. They also had some not so great stuff when they expanded their product line to include making everything like radios and indash monitors and a line of 30 different sub series. Similar to what MTX is doing now with 20 different lines of amps and subs.

I didn't think their subs were crap. I've installed most of them at one time or another and on a variety of different amps with great success. Usually only making small mods to the box or amp setup.

Just do something

Hey you know what your right! The guy I bought it from said it was a dual 4 ohm sub, and I guess I just skipped over the ohms when I was looking at it for my self (dumb). Thanks so much for pointing that out.
