I would like to get this amp to power two tower speakers in a home stereo application. Will this amp be strong enough, or do I need the XLS1500?

The Crown XLS1000 is much more than you need I never had a problem with their amp I'm using the same amp powering 4 sub 12s & pair of 12" 3way full range speakers to my DJ equip. So you wont have a problem with this " bad boy " ....

More than enough power to drive most speakers. Very clean power, too. The only problem is mixing "pro" gear with "consumer" gear. The output voltage from your preamp has to be high enough to drive the amp. I returned mine for just that reason. Oddly enough, my Zune drove it beautifully, but my Denon AVR would not. Your want to check your preamp's line voltage and be sure it's high enough for the Crown to "hear" it. I don't recall the exact specs, but it's somewhere around 3v (+/-) for home gear and around 5v (+/-) for pro gear.The other interesting thing is that your left and right channels have individual volume controls, so you have to manually set your levels. This is a pro or a con, depending on what you like. More than enough power to drive most speakers. Very clean power, too. The only problem is mixing "pro" gear with "consumer" gear.

That depends on the speakers. This amp outputs a true 1000w RMS, which is PLENTY of power for most speakers.

@ 215 watts per channel at 8 ohms or 350 watts per channel at 4 ohms, its fine for a home stereo. Thanks.

I actually power mine with an 8 watt tube amp (the K12G kit amplifier from TubeDepot). Sounds great and easily fills a bedroom or small office with sound. Most of the smaller solid state amps sold through Amazon have more power than that, so really any decent one will work.

Should be fine! This amp has plenty of power. No problems in the 10 months I've had mine.

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

I looked for a Planet Audio 4000 Watt amp and found this, the AC4000.1D. They claim it makes 1,500 RMS, if that is the case, it will be enough to get them moving pretty good. I have a 2000 Watt soundstream on them, and it is pretty ridiculous. I think the amp you mentioned will work if it is something you already have, but if you are looking to get an amp for them, I would stay away from Planet Audio.

The 1000 watts RMS from your amp is fine to push one of the X-12s'. I think your amp is stable down to 2 ohms, so you'd actually want to grab the X-12 D4, since the dual 4 our voice coils would allow to paralell down to a 2 ohm load.

If this is for a home sound system, you only need one sub. Two does nothing except muddy the bass. The CVA-118x is a stage bass, it is VERY powerful, possibly too much for home audio use. I have one in my home theater, it is plenty, it rattles everything and about blows the glass out!! Yes, it wants power- I put mine on a dedicated 20 amp circuit because I popped the breaker on a 15amp. All is happy now. For stage use I use two. Each on a separate breaker.

I am powering two 12 Orion pro @ 2ohms and this amp has no problem punching them hard. Hope this help with your options.

You haven't provided all the necessary information to receive a worthy answer. We understand you want to power a pair of dual 15" speakers at 8 Ohms, but that's all we know. Complete your research by finding out the power handling ability and capacity of the speakers. Then, look again at the outputs that the amp is capable of. Your answer is then looking right back at you.I assure you this: Relying upon a bunch of people you do not know for answers to questions like this is going to come at a cost. You have no idea that they know anything about which they speak.

That shouldn't be an issue. The amp is strong. Don't let the physical size of it mislead you. I would recommend it.

I agree with 1966, mine is pushing a 12 inch L5 and sounds good but could definitely sound better. So this amp with a 15 inch L7? You would be working this amp out for sure, plus ur sub needs more Watts to sound decent.

Not sure. But the BRX1600D is a beast for the money. Just be sure to have your LEVEL set properly, making sure the Volts match your head unit's output. Having it too high will destroy your speakers like its nothing. This amp isn't the cleanest sounding amp but if you dial it in correctly its all you need for your sub's.

No you will burn up the subs from underpower.the boss amp is 250 RMS @2 ohms.look for a amp that is 400 watts RMS. The mtx is rated 400 @2 ohms its a single channel. So you need a monoblock like lanzar htg157

an 800 watt amp might be a little overkill to drive two of these. I run two of mine on a 400watt pyle marine amp and I can max them out. I just used a regular 16 gauge speaker wire. They sound great!

Yes it's good enough for a 15 this amp has a lot of power for that speakers I have one and I'm really happy I recommend you this amp

No this amp will not provide enough power for two of these beasts. To power two of these you need an one ohm stable amp, and the perfect amp would be the hifonics brutus 1100.d. Hope this helps!

I used this amp and it works great on my PC. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054L8GVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
