4 1500's vs 2 3000's

ok running 4 1500's strapped @ .5 ohm each set or 2 3000's strapped @ 1ohm. what do you think? i'm leaning towards the 1500's!

The 3000D does almost exactly double the 1500D at a given load. If you have the 1500Ds @ 1/2 ohm then they will do more than the 3000Ds at 1 ohm, hands down.

Jacob, wouldn't the 3000D at 1ohm essentially put out the same power as two 1500D's bridged into 1ohm or run separately into .5ohm each?

Not trying to be a smart ass, just curious why two 1500D's would put out more power into comparable loads.

think of it like, 2000w x 4 v 3500w x 2

or something to that effect

The 3000D does about the same at 1 ohm as 1500Ds bridged at 2 ohms, or 1 ohm per amplifier. When the 1500Ds are dropped to 1/2 ohm each (1 ohm strapped) then they will definatly do more power than a 3000D at 1 ohm. If you dropped the 3000D to 1/2 ohm then it would be very close again.
