2 ohm stable amp at 1ohm rms Question

[MerkConvoy501]

I know there alot of variables when trying to guess actual rms. But i have a zx750.1 and im thinking about running it at 1ohm. I know a amp that typically puts out around 700-800rms @2ohms typically puts out 1200-1400rms @1ohm. Do yall think i can expect that kind of power increase running this kicker zx750 @1ohm?

And that is?

i would not recommend running at 1ohm as the amp is not stable at 1ohm. more than likely you will damage the amplifier.

I have asked here and other people have done it. It is a kicker zx750.1

I have ran a 750.1 @ 1ohm for a year and a half on GOOD electrical, no issues what so ever. Birth sheet stated 864rms. I'd say I was getting a bit more than that to the 12" Q...

My electrical is stock but i run amps @1ohm on stock electrical all the time.

Clamp test

Pulled up some info on clamp testing thank you

Are you worried about your sub not being able to handle it? Just hook it up set the gains and square the AC voltage you have. That is about what the amp is putting out.

Why does it matter if you feed it enogh juice it will but out more power.

Your going to do it no matter what so if it buts out 1k or 2k does it matter.

No it doesnt matter really just wondering if i would be over powered, under powered, if its gonna even get the subs moving and so on.
