you amp wont like 1ohm.

you amp wont like 1ohm.

depends on amp.

And it depends on how much current it is drawing at 1 ohm.

Really depends on your charging system. If it's substantial enough, you should be fine. Doing the Big 3 couldn't hurt.

its not the ohm that would be any real concern here. its your wattage. how many watts are you looking at running?

What is your full system and what are you looking to do? This will help us assist you.

That actually depends man... Certain amps draw more current @ 1 ohm than they do 2-4...

yes... but thats what watts will tell us

How so? I am going to use my ARC SE 2300 for example here as maybe I am confused...

1 channel @ 4 ohms = 1300wrms = 147A

1 channel @ 2 ohms = 1300wrms = 184A

Is that from the manual? That would be some new information for me. I didn't think it would be that much difference. Must be a lot more heat being lost in the amp running a higher current.

it is 1600W RMS @ 1 ohm
