[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8458343, member: 574798"] I just think it's not necessary to go down to .5 ohms if you already have plenty of power. You can still be loud with 1 ohm because you're already going up in cone area. They're only HDS212's so thermally speaking, you can give them around 600w-1000w each and that should be plenty. No need to squeeze more power into it and possibly burn up your coils. Less stress on your amp and electrical too. You will probably see a better number on the meter regardless. Technically you can run .5 if you're careful and know you're doing though. It just creates more heat everywhere, which isn't a good thing. That is your choice to make. If you're only competing here and there for fun, then personally I wouldn't risk it. [/QUOTE]
