well the HX2 is a Rockford Fosgate sub....but yes D14810 is correct. Okoboji I think you might be thinking of amplifiers, because almost all amplifiers out there will either go into protect mode or be damaged when they are run at 1 ohm.

ok i know what ohms are..... are you saying that the amount of olms that are delivered are determined by the amp, D148l0? i thought it was the way the subs were wired

That is the idea. the impedance (ohms) is given by the sub, since it's a property of it, and yes, by the way it's wired when it has 2 voice coils. That impedance determines the output of the amp (watts). I'm sorry if I was not clear enough... however, you asked if (quote) "running a sub @ 1 ohm make the sub more likely to blow? you cannot make a sub to adopt a different load... the way you wire a sub modifies the load it represents to the amp, not the opposite. If you are interested, I can give you a couple of excellent links that explain this better than I do...

but wait.. wont runnin the amp @ 1 ohm make the wattage higher, which the rms was already then the subs advertise .... the subs at advertised at 500w rms, and the amp is 600w rms x 2 @ 2 ohms, wouldnt running it at 1 ohm make it be 1200w rms x 2?

That amplifier is not 1-ohm stable but in theory, yes it would be double the amount of power.

the diagram you showed me to go with that amp was for a 1 ohm load, how would i wire it to get a 2 ohm load?
