Since CV was purchased by Stanton (the turntable folks) the assembly of their loudspeakers has moved out of the US and their quality has gone down. But the V-Max is still a decent low-cost loudspeaker. Put each one in a sealed 1.25 CUFT enclosure. Your speakers are rated at 300 watts RMS and your amp produces 750 watts into 4 ohms. What's the impedence on your speakers? (DVC? SVC? which version do you have?)

DVC, great, but at what impedence? DVC 4-ohm or DVC 2-ohm??? To hook these to your 1501bd amp, you'll need to run two in series (300W + 300W) so they can handle the power output of that amp. You'll want to run them at 4 ohms each, in series for 8 ohms in a pair. Then parallel the two pairs to the amp for 4 ohm load on the amp. That is, if you subs CAN be wired at 4-ohms. Give me the ratings on your sub's voice coils!

If they are DVC 4 ohms, then you may have a bit of a problem not overpowering them with the 1501 amp. Wire them for 2-ohms (VCs in parallel) and then put two of these in series for 4-ohms. Wire the two sets to the amp in parallel for a net of 2-ohms, and the amp will deliver 1500 watts. This shuld max out the woofers, and if the sealed anclosures are properly designed they should be able to handle it. Good luck!
