Alright, i am sure you guys have heard this many times before.

I have 4 18" FI BTL N2 subwoofers (V1) and I want to install them in my living room.

Being dual 2 subs... I could wire one to one amp at 4ohm in series.

So, guess ill need 4 amps. Any suggestions? i have been looking and found a few dayton audio amps.. 

I havent found anything that does around 1500 watts rms at 4 ohm. I am assuming this isnt common in home audio?

Or will i need to hook up my welder to my 750.1? Lol.

But oh well enough dealing with ppl who have probably not even lived as long as ive been into electronics!

Dude.  You're gonna rip sheetrock off your walls with that.  Front door hairtricks?  Lol

I hooked (2) 12s up with about 150W of power at 2 ohm (on my PSC60) for fun and it shook shit off the walls on the other side of my house.  Room gain will get you a lot of sound without needing to go as big as you're talking about going

i know it is a bit overkill but if it is way too much then i will just use 2 or 1.

but if you got em, use em.

You can wire all four series-parallel and get 4 ohms, so you only need one amp.  

I've got an Behringer iNuke 3000DSP and I love it.  The DSP is awesome and you get a lot of power for the price.  With the amount of sub you have I'd look at the 6000DSP.  

If you REALLY want to get down you might look at getting a FP14000 clone, how does 14,000 watts in your house sound?  :-)    You gotta run a new power circuit back to your breaker to use it though.

If you follow thru with this, be sure to post pics of the enclosure

I second the iNuke 3000 DSP or 6000 DSP. And definitely get the DSP! Unless you have outboard DSP,  those amps fixed crossover at 100 hz sucks. It makes a huge difference in bass response having total control over crossover points and slopes and 8 parametric eqs, and a limiter. You might need at least a 20 amp breaker for the 6000 if you go that route. My 3000 DSP makes my Mayhem fucking rock in my living room but the whole apartment complex shakes . Had to treat all the walls, ceiling and floors with Green Glue and another layer of 5/8 inch sheetrock. You may have to build a floating floor as well with 4 18s. If you did do each sub series (4 ohms) you could get two iNuke 6000 DSP (for like $700) and wire one 4 ohm sub to each channel since the 6000 can't be bridged but the subs would probably need to be housed separately since they wouldn't be perfectly gain matched and eq'd unless you're really meticulous. Right now I'm thinking of going Sencheezy's route and using those high voltage Taramps amps plugged into my 220 dryer or oven line and having 20,000 watts or more and running four Team 18s in the house. Good luck!

This is what I had to do just for one Mayhem 18. It weighs 1,285 pounds but when I lock myself in, since it's super soundproof my neighbors (except for one who can feel it in the floor two stories up) don't hate me anymore.

Edit: fuck me I have no idea how to post pictures anymore.
