I own the BX1500D its a nice amp but not worth 400 bucks I assure you, pick in up on ebay for around 200, and no It wont put out 1500 watts at 1ohm mine was benched at 1146 watts
Otherwise I have found it to be a great amp, and I have put it through some torture

Good Luck

man are you serious 1146?  That bench testing they do is everything accurate?  Like 14.4volts etc...?  I am running mine at 2 ohms right now 1000 watts but it is probably like 650?  That is crap how can they do that?

8 Years ago when I hade my old Hifonics amp it would have put out what it said, but maxxsonics bought them out awhile and something must have changed,
I dont know, It may be a bad amp on my part but Im not to worried about it cause I barley paid anything for the amp and its more then what my cheap audiobahns will ever want

Take it to a shop and have them bench for you, it shouldnt cost you more than $25.00
