[QUOTE="macsdad, post: 8286159, member: 623697"] The higher the ohm load, the less across the whole system. That being said, yes, you could safely run that amp at 1ohm to that sub. Just be sure to set the amp's gain PROPERLY. Meaning; Do not try to make the amp do more than is designed for. I would personaly run it at the 1ohm option, giving you 'headroom' and, as stated before, properly set the gain. Some will rag on the fact that you have a quality sub and a low quality amp. But if it works for YOU, then so be it. Do yourself a favor and get a custom built box for that sub, and your ears will thank you. Good luck, dude, let us know how it works out for you. Also, if the amp hasn't been purchased yet, check the classifieds on here, and you may be able to find a higher quality amp. [/QUOTE]
