My personal rule of thumb is that the amp should be at least 40% more powerful than the speaker(s) it's driving. So, if your sub is 1500W RMS, then mathematically, you'd need approximately a 2100W RMS amp. Some people just match it evenly - in that case you'd need a 1500W RMS amp. Whatever you do, DON'T use an amp less powerful than the speaker. If you do, you will probably kill the speaker in a short period of time. :(

Id say 10 watts. its not the watts in the stereo that is important. you want a low output to the amp so there is little or no distortion. the 1500 watt amp will 'pump up the volume'
