Thinking Q + 1500D

[buickid 0]

Ok, so I'm wondering if the Q is the right choice for me now. Roughly how much power will a fully loaded Q handle? I plan on running the 1500D at 1 ohm, so I suppose around 1600W.

Thanks,

Trevor

You'll need to baby the gains on the 1500D. Even with the BP power the Q won't take the full brunt of that amp for very long. You'll want to send around 1200w at the most too it.

Way too much power, if your not careful you will pop it.

Thanks!

agreed, very strong amp

Heh, ok. How about a loaded BL at that power?

I'd rather buy the sub first based on listening preferences, then the amp...

But that's just me.

Boooooorrrrrrrring.....

J/K.

Actually a great piece of advice.

I would've saved a bunch of money over the years had I listened to that.

I think the SAE-1000d would be a much better match up on the Q

Heh oops. Well, I got a 1500D for a good deal, so no turning back from that. I'm not much of an SQ seeker. Just out to rattle things. The BP might be the ideal choice I think.

So long as you are sensible about it you'll be fine..i mean i'm gonna have a little over 1kw per door in the truck on the mids/highs...

Not going to use all of it, but there's nothing wrong with head room. If you abuse it it will bite you though

Thanks!
