ah rite. so Jake's right.
Get two of them alpine 300wrms 2ohm DVC subs, wire them thusly to give a 750wrms out put

or... do you already have the subs? if so, i recomend another amp...

i was advised not to run a 15 and 2 10's at the same time.
i just posted a thread asking if that can be done, if the wrms are the same on all subs..
