so you are saying the kicker hit harder than the us amp but the us amp sounded better? or is the other way around? |

you got it chad so i got the us back on it. i was thinking about a zx1500 but the ssf is preset to 15 i think thats a good amp. i was thinking about putting a saz-3000d on it till i get the money for the dd's or two saz-1500 but the would cost me more in the long run so will i be ok with the saz-3000 on it |

No you don't NEED 1500w. Thats pushing it even with the BP. 1000w is what that sub is designed for........ |

So they say...... those subs have been known to have issues like tinsel slap, especially when powered over 1000w |

Get yourself a T10001BD .... You can't go wrong with that nice of an amp plus all of them are usually birthsheeted around 1400+.
I powered Qs with a T10001BD without the BP Option... I gave it 1526 watts @ 1ohm...
The Q didnt sweat.
I say throw 2k @ it. It wont hurt unless ur a complete idiot with it. |

1500w rms on it daily used reasonably will be fine for it, BP option or not. That's the common consensus on SSA and I've got a Fi Q with BP. Only have ~900 on it atm, not for long though. BP option or not I'd be real careful giving it more than 1500w rms. |

Quentin wonts to get saz-3000d for the 2 DD3518's. but he needs a different amp for his Q so y go buy two amps when i will be cheaper to get the one and set the gain down. then he don't have to get a another amp when he up grades |

we cant get it to sound good, we even took it to a ex-kicker worker to set it. he didn't no how to set it so we called Chad lee and he help a little then we set it some more but the us amps was still louder. |
