I have 2 image dynamics idq dual 2 ohm 15's. I like 2 different amps and want opinions on which one to go with.

1st. The Soundstream Picasso PCX1500D or

2nd. The Us amp MD-3D

They both would be run at 2ohms mono.

Before we totally dog the D class amps, let's see the specs and compare all angles before any decision is made.

We should also consider that they're going to be playing a small range of sound as well.

I have run 15"s on A/B power as well, so don't think I am biased towards D topology. I myself (or will be after I install them) am using a D class amplifier for two ID15" D2 woofers.

Something tells me you'll be just fine with the D class amplifiers.

Thanks for the links. At 2ohms they are rated at almost equal power.

US Amps makes a fine product, but their site doesn't list THD, Damping Factor, or S/N Ratio. those are useful items to compare.

you could try contacting tech support for each amp. ask them how their amp compares with the other. see if you get a response. that tells you someone is listening.
