Rockford t1500bdcp gain setting help

We went with track 3 -5db the subs still sound a little weak the past owner of the subs and box had them on a punch 1000bd at 1ohm , the t1500bdcp says 1500 at 2ohm so would going on up to say -7.5db or -10 db be the best bet or use the punch boost on the amp? We played with the boost some and it hit as good as the subs did on the 1000 punch but always here dont use boost .

Ya it might. Then change to -10 db and see if you like that better. Subs will handle it as long as it's clean.

And you are comparing the set up to the vehicle it was in to what you put it in currently? Remember that there will be a acoustical change from say an SUV to a trunk set up. The subs will perform and sound different from vehicle to vehicle. Nature of the beast.

The cp models say make same power at 2ohm so I'm confused myself.

Yes. But you wont see 2ohm due to impedance rise (reactive load). Dont mess with gain or boost, leave it where its at, and wire to .5ohm. 

Half ohm with -5dB overlap, start volume low and slowly increase to make sure you dont push the subs past mechanical limits.
