The problem I see right away is that you have two subs that are capable of continuous 500 watts each (total 1000), running them at 1 ohm into an amp that will output something close to 1500 watts into 1 ohm.

Be careful with the setup.

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

HI There,

I order from Ikesound all the time since there right down the street from me, as for the BX1500D I have one pushing my new XXX 12 and it is loud unbearably loud to sit in the car with the windows up, the draw back with the ealry Brutus line is they are very power hungry, On My civic I used to have a HO 150 AMP Alternator, but due to complications I have had to go back to the Stock 70amp, and the Brutus should kill it off about every 6 months or so but thats another story

Its a good amp and will pound most subs into oblivion as long as you can give it the juice

Good Luck

Before my system was stolen, I was running 2 BX1800d's.  They are disgustingly powerful, and put a world of hurt on the subs I ran.
