Very great information guys!

You might pay for them but the fabulous numbers won't be there. Because when you push even the great amps into high amperage output the THD and damping factors are gone....either through the roof or out the window.

So a Mcintosh, Memphis, US, Nakamichi, Hifonics, etc.. amps don't keep their SQ when loaded to thier lowest ohm rating?

Hmm.. I would ask him, but he seems a little bit biased towards Nak Benefits of a one-ohm connection - Page 4 -- posted image.

I Was just asking if what you said applies to the really high end amps?

I am currently using a US Amps US2000 and I can't hear much of a difference between running my dual2ohm subs at 1ohm per sub or amp bridged with 2ohm total load. Sounds clean and clear.

BUUUUTTTTT, when I switched my older Kicker 1200.1 amps from 1 ohm to 4 ohm there was a huge difference in sound quality.

But my 1 US2000 cost more than both of my 1200.1's did. So as stated earlier with a high quality amp you will have much less distortion at any load.

I personally won't run at 1ohm in my daily driver anymore just to keep further away from a short circuit.

boom, boom, boom boom....
