What exact sub is it 1400watt is its peak so you don't want to be running it around there constantly do you have any more info on the sub

Ahh 1 one of those I had 2 of these in 12 inch few years back

Specs are


XS-L156P5: Size (inch)
15
Dual Voice Coil
NO
General Specifications:
Peak Power, IEC 268-5 (W)
1500
Rated Power, IEC 268-5 (W)
450
Impedance (ohm)
4

So I would say running just 1 a mono block amp at a rating of either 4-600 watt should see you getting some decent lows from it your rms rating will be around about 450 rms so a 600 watt mono is sort of your top end

Correct me if I'm wrong

I would not run more then 300Wrms into that i would use a monoblock such as a AlpineMRP-M350 or Vibe Slick Bass 1 or see if you can find an old school amp that would give that figure bridged?
