I have a powerbass XA-1500d its about 2 years old but hasnt been used so its still like new. Im wanting to try it on my 2 powerbass 3xl 15s. They are dual 1ohm and are rated at 1000 watts rms. Im wonder if this amp will push them good enough or do I need something alot bigger. The system is going in a chevy hhr and the subs will be in a ported enclosure. Any opinions or advice would be great!

that amp should do for now but my guess is they could stand to have a little bit more. that amp probably wont give you 1500W maybe 1100, and i doubt those subs will handle a true 1000 rms all day.
