concern #1
Mono amps aren't bridgeable.
Concern #2
You have a 1500w amp and a 1000w speaker.
If the sub's a dual 2 wired for 1 ohm and you're not well informed on the use of a level/gain control and bass boost you have a formula for disaster.
Enclosure size and type can be a big factor as well.
Is it a dual 2 or dual 4?
Where is your level dial set at? How much bass boost are you using?
Also what's the brand and model of your head unit?
