regarding 1ohm amp stability.

ive tried this on a few amps just to see for my self, an iseen it work but i wont do it anymore or advise anybody to do it either, ive seen it pop inline 60 amp fuses, the blade fuses in the amp itself, go into protect an also not do anything at all besides beat my trunk harder than before, your cars electrical capabilities have a lot do with it to, h.o. alts an high end batts will let sum amps run lower ohm loads with no problems cars with weak electrical power will do damage to amps even at 2 or 4 ohm loads let alone 1 or 1/2 ohm1000 watts of lp, now need sum hp an mids

Yes, low loads can cause problems.  The gain does not limit the power output of the amp by the way, it only changes the curve of how much input voltage is required to attain the output.  Placing too low a load on some amps can cause the output devices to burn up on over current even at low power levels.  This is why most good quality amps will shut down in protection first; it is detecting too high current through the output and protecting the transistors.Support the12volt.com
