is this 1 ohm stable?

From the manual: "This amplifier is not recommended for impedance loads below 2-Ohm stereo/4-Ohm bridged for the front/rear channels and 2-ohmfor the sub channel." I think you may have overheating issues with a 1 Ohm load.

I'm running mine to one 12 punch at 4ohm. Was cutting out an had trouble at 2 an lower. I'd go with the punch series Amp for alil more money if I were you.

Can i use this amp for a Rockford Fosgate Punch P3D4-15 15" 600 Watt RMS at 4 Ohm ??
1602522
Amp is actually certified @ 626 watt rms opposed to the 500 it states.. I'm running with a 12" single ported fosgate p3 and so far no overheating as I push max for about 80 mins each day to n from work. Not sure exactly if it is 1 ohm stable but the p3 is dual 4ohm and sounds amazing..although the amp box states 300x1@ 4ohms- 500x1@2ohms given the split it should run at least 800@1 but I'm no amp expert.. Hope this helps.. When all else fails call RF tech sup :)

It is a 2ohm stable amp that delivers 647 watts on a 2 ohm load and 333 watts on a 4 ohm load.

In bridged mode, I don't doubt it can. BUT I cannot say it will manage at 1 ohm. If you want it to give you a hard clean drive, wire speakers at 4 ohms and bridge it. Also make sure you have some strong amperage in your power supply...I am thinking you have dual coil kickers...I would recommend putting each speaker in 8 ohm mode then parallel them together to achieve the 4 ohm I previously mentioned.

Oh and I read other comments. About putting to 1 ohm. Bad idea. That's what I did. To my 2 15" boss subs and exploded the ass end of them. Then I bought two 15 3600 watt pyles and they work perfect. Lots I bass. And can handle more.

Ummmm...no. All of these amplfiers including this one are only stable down to 2 ohms...says so on manufacturers website

That is fine, your best bet is to get a sub that can be wired at 1ohm so you can get the most out of your amp.

This amplifier is not stable at 2 ohms. it is limited to 4 ohm loads or higher.

it would fry them if it could run at .5 lowest i've been able to run it was .79 (.8)ohms any lower and it goes protect. it fried my friends type r 15s at 1 ohm. if you're still looking at getting this amp then runs it in 2ohms and give it a try.

I would keep at 2ohm. I have 2 12's running at 2ohm. This amp lies about the power it has.

Sorry, this one won't be suitable for such accuracy. For making effective low-ohms measurements you're going to really want something that does 4-wire Ohms measurements as the I·R losses in the measurement wires will be significant if the total resistance under test is so low. Unfortunately those do tend to run several hundred dollars at a minimum.

I no longer have this unit. I believe so at 4 ohms but I suggest you refer to Audio Source Tech Support: 1.877.715.5439 or locally 503.914.4688

Sorry, but J. Koebel is correct. This unit will measure into the 1000K ohm range, but is unfortunately not able to measure less than one tenth ohm. I just tested. And it is accurate to only .1ohm. Therefore as for your desired reading of 0.543ohm this VOM will give you a reading of .5ohm. Here is the Manual: http://www.p-mastech.com/images/SPEC/ms8265%20ms8268.pdf

Lower ohm allow you to put more power into the sub without blowing it. A 2ohm amp will work fine for anything higher than 2ohm as well. I would suggest getting a amp that is 1 or 1/2 ohm stable so you can wire the two coils down and get more power into in. If you are going to use your amp either make sure it has 4 outputs or youll have to wire the 2ohm up to 4ohm. Regardless you always want lower ohms but your amp must be able to handle it.

Anything pushing 400wt perside at 4 ohms should work. I wouldnt go too much over that.

Terminals r decent so far I'm currently at 1/2 ohm but its only been two weeks I Will Say this tho this is the dual box on the SINGLE boxes I had 2 years ago they could not handle 1 ohm

Hi Clay, Based on the usage I give to this amp, I don't think will be a problem. I have connected two 8 ohms speakers and often to highest volume, using the power supply provided, and not meaningful warming up.However, I don't think is good idea to close completely ANY electrical device. Leave a minimal air entry and I don't think you will have problems, using it inside specs.

I use it to detect bad magnatrons and transisters, and it will show a difference of 1 ohm, the only one I have that will go that low.
