Do you think a Soundstream PCA2000D would give me enough power to push two 15" or 18" Qs? If so would I purchase dual 2 or 1 ohm subs? If I wanted to get the full power out of the amp I would have to go with the 1 ohms, but how would I wire them? This amp is only stable at 1 ohm right? Would a .5 ohm load put too much stress on the amp? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same amp on a pair of Q 12's. It will work just fine. I wouldn't run the amp lower than 1ohm though. A pair of dual 1ohm Q15's would be the way to go.

Do I wire them at 1ohm just like you would wire a 4ohm sub?

2 D1 subs, wire in series parallel.

2 D1 subs, wire in series parallel.

can i detail a bit ?

voice coils in series, then subs in parallel

Example?

You do know what series & parallel are right? If not... www.bcae1.com please.
