Try and find an older PPI amp, there excellent in terms of build and sound quality, the newer models are questionable. Alpine and Boston are also good.

run anywhere from 1500-2000 RMS total

the 15s can take 1000 rms, if you know what your doing.

i would recommend the zx1500 or the 2500 and set gains correctly, leaving you with headroom
