1 ohm stable

reading the info at the hifonics web site they claim their amps can handle a 1 ohm load on their monoblock amps, brutus amps. has anyone out there actually ran a 1 ohm load on these amps, can they actually handle that low of a load for an extended period of time i mean for the price i might just consider getting a pair of these amps, that is if they can really handle a 1ohm load. i have 12inch kicker comp vrs with dual 2ohm voice coils.gcorrea

yes. These amps push 1 Ohm and they do it quite well. I used a BX1500D to power a pair of HX2 10's and they would slam like there's no tomarrow. Be sure to give them adequate ventilation as they do get hot."Shiny chrome when used in conjunction with bikini models is particularly effective in inducing brain deficit disorder"

at 1 ohm, i'm sure those pull a lot of current.  and u mentioned getting 2?  better get an alternator, yellow top, and capacitors.

What would happen if you ran a 1 ohm stable mono amp at .5 ohms? Would it just get hot and shut down? Or what?boom, boom, boom boom....

Depends on the construction, some amps like my Alpine Class D shut down when they sense more than normal current draw. Most will get real hot and shut down though. Some will quit all together. I don't real reccommend it.

battery and alt. are a good idea, and for a cap, you can get a single 10 farrad at a good price. don't get the round ones, unless you need it for you lights. use a bat cap for you audio needs

Man..two amps drawing a 1-ohm load..sounds like a lot of stress on your car's electrical system.~The Rookie~
