Wire them to 2 Ohms, get an Rockford bdCP 1500

You'll get a little better sound quality and a lot better efficiency out of it than if you wired your subs to .5 ohms.

your not getting any power out of that amp at 2 ohms. after rise you are screwed. if you wire to 1 ohm on that amp it is the only way to go. then you rise to 2 ish and you get rated.

OP look at sundown DD AQ DC audio SKAR

Its called Constant Power for a reason

1500watts at 2ohms no problem

its called box rise. read up on it big man.

i hope you realize when you wire your 2 D4 12s to 1 ohm you are probably rising to 2-4 ohms and utilizing that constant power you paid for. but when you wire to 2 ohms that BOX RISE puts you 4+ohms most likely and you will see 1k on those subs if your luckily. or you may get lucky and not have a lot of rise but you will still be over 2 ohms. learn a thing or 2 before calling someone out.

sorry to burst your bubble but Fosgate has a new thing that is called technology. the bdcp line of amps will give you rating power at any ohm load and yes it even helps with box rise

I got a dd m3 but Idk if its .5 ohm stable. Haven't even used it lol

and it is. drop it down. dont clip it. youll be fine. better have an electrical

go ahead and wire to 2 ohm. i have done so and it SUCKED. no where near 1500 as it claims to do. try 1090. so if you had no rise present, you would be utilizing that "technology" as you call it. so lets say you have minimal rise of maybe .5 ohms. that is a pretty darn efficient box. well guess what, now the amp is seing 2.5 + ohms. you are no longer utilizing the CP technology since the amp is seing 2.5 ohms now. you will be lucky to get 1300 now. as the total power is taken down the percentage you lose if the total is higher and higher. so there is a more notacible difference to meter and to the ear.

does anyone see what im getting at? I know BDCP models claim to do same at 1 and 2 ohms but 2 ohm rating is still less if anyone can see on a birthsheet. and the 4 ohm rating is almost half of 1 ohm rating which you approach with rise on some parts of the music.

FALSE

the bolded statement is not true. amps only give constant at 1 and 2 ohm. not 4 ohm. not anything above 2 ohm. go look at a birthsheet. come back with a better argument that is actually fact. wiring at 1 ohm utilizes the CP feature to the fullest since most of the time it will get that constant power even with some rise.

Kicker makes good 2ohm monos...Jus sayin, why entrust a new guy to having to wire to .5 when their are good amps that do power at 2ohm. Kicker zx 1500.1 for example

i personally wouldnt wire an amp to .5 ohms. you want more power then buy a bigger amp. its only a few hundred bucks plus when you go .5 ohms the amp will draw more amperage as its not stable. you will need a bigger alternator and more batteries to handle the draw. so it will cost more and even more when you burn up the amp

edit: never use box rise as a way to keep your amp safe

jbl 1200.1 is another nice amp that does good power at 2ohm

kicker does well over rated at 2 ohms so it will be hes best bet. might be getting around 1900 rms
