1 ohm = 'dirty signal'?

[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 2912076, member: 561023"] If a 1 Ohm load creates "dirty" power or whatever it is that you were told then why is it that reputable car audio manufacturers make amps that will operate at that load (or lower) continuously and safely? Diamond, Orion, IA, Sundown, DLS, Arc, blah blah blah blah - the list could go on considerably for electronics manufacturers that make and sell amps that we all know will run all day long and then some when shown a 1 Ohm load and assuming you have the charging system to adequately support it there isn't ever a problem. Furthermore - why would these same companies create subwoofers that can be wired to a 1 Ohm nominal load whether by themselves or in conjunction with others if doing so was such an incredibly poor idea? If you're running substandard equipment then likely you'll achieve substandard results. If you're using tried and true gear that you know is going to do what the spec sheet tells you it will do then don't worry about it. Additionally go back and tell whoever sold you this particular line of [I]ish[/I] to go fly a kite and quit giving advice on subjects he is woefully ill-prepared to talk about. [/QUOTE]
