Look..... The sub does not care what impedance it is run at. It is the amp that matters. Please go here Basic Car Audio Electronics and learnd about how car audio works.Quote:

Please try again.
also, you could probably use some practice typing anyways :crap:
Wow. Boss audio is your problem. Everything you have is just wrong. Worst possible equipment. Buy a good amp for a cheap price such as the precision power phantom series 900 I beleive for like 189 shipped.

Andreas M (FT WARREN AFB, WYOMING, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PAIR BOSS AUDIO P156DVC 15" 5000W Car Subwoofers 2 Subs (Electronics)
These subs are good for a cheap system with a decent amp and a good amount to bass to be heard around the block, I've purchased the 12 and 15" version of this sub and the 15"s are by far much better than the 12"s. The main thing about these is they seem to handle their rated power but exactly at 4 ohms, if you run them parallel and drop them down to 2ohms or even 1ohm on a pair than these things will smoke up before you even know it. So stay at 4 ohms and these things are great, also the cones look cool but very flimsy and flexible, I can't really complain much on this because the subs are cheap and hit very hard for their price. Overall 3 stars.

go buy one an test it on 500rms at 1ohm
lol, Andreas sounds like quite the expert.
You should do some reading into basic electronics, you sound like a ******* idiot, and judging by the fact you believed those reviews just re-enforces it.
those subs are crap, that's why they keep blowing. I'm sure they blow at any ohm load with a true 500 watts rms on them if you're clipping the hell out of them, which I'm sure you are. cause they just weren't "as loud as you think they should be" so you cranked the gain and bass boost.
How did you set your amp in the first place, OP?
So you can't tell this guy is a dumb *** from the start? Once again... Subs don't care. He was probely a idiot and wired his amp to low.Quote:

i did a quick search for that post but everyone was saying these subs where never meant to see 1ohm
Yes please do keep looking and post more of them. Its comedy gold! Seriously man..... that's just not the way a subwoofer works. Its just not. People who say it is do not know what they are talking about.Quote:

More than 5 people here on a car audio forum has said it is wrong. I think that would trump 5 people on Amazon who buy boss saying that stuff.
