So you're going to buy another woofer and still run 3 unmatched drivers......???

If you are trying for maximum bass sell the Alpines and the Shocker....use the proceeds to buy 2 matched woofers that you can wire up to a 2ohm mono load.....size doesn't matter as much as the enclosure, there are lots of 12" or 15" Single 4 or Dual 2ohm drivers to choose from that can handle that much power......get the right box for them and you will be much happier than the sound from 3 oddballs will produce.....

I say keep the shocker and run it alone on the amp.

they are both dual 2 ohms and what if i connected 2 to one bridge and the 15 to the bridge on top if anything i will buy another 15 shocker motor and get the best re-cones for it but if i try this will it cook if anything i just run one 15 for now but this amp has three of the modes done so it is strapped i am going to buy this anyways.

I understand the amp purchase, what I don't get is the way you want to use it......

For now, build a good enclosure for the Shocker and wait until you can get a 2ohm mono load to throw on the amp......one of those with that much power might be enough....or maybe not......
