1 ohm

[Fender5 10+ year member]

Should I trust my amp at 1-ohm. It says 1 ohm stable.

It is the Kenwood KAC-9103D.

500W @ 4... 900W @2... 900W

So Im assumin I can get anywhere from 900W RMS-1800W(Peak) at 1 ohm.

Im looking at the RE Audio SE subs. 2 of them. Rated at 600W RMS. And wire them to one ohm.

What do yout hink

if it says its 1 ohm stable it probably is..... you arent likely to see 1800 watts out of it though

no the amp companies are lying when they say their amps are 1 ohm stable

im hoping to see atleast 1200W RMS. Is it going to atleast push that much

Well kenwood is, that amp is not 1 ohm stable, you are asking for trouble if you try, it will consistantly go into protect

Kenwoods are CEA-2006 compliant so it should be close on wattage. I have a kenwood kac and it hits pretty **** hard for what it is. First place at a usaci 0-600 with it anyway.
