you want pure spl buy a re mt, or a re sx, or the mojos in the for sale section, matching memphis wouldnt be bad

Make sure you buy your subs so they can take a 2 ohm load. I don't believe that the 1500d is 1 ohm stable.

i dont think its reconmended but one is being used here for burps and is doing ok .... So far anyways.
That amp is pretty potent for its size.

The 1500D will burp fine at 1ohm but I wouldn't run it at that daily.

152.5 - Not nearly enough power to run an RE MT.
For spl out of the RE line go with the SX. But only one.

For spl and two 12's I would suggest two L7's.
