[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8136646, member: 628688"] You can get the Precision Power amps on here from me. I do not recommend running any of those amps at 1 ohm on the sub channel. That's a lot of heat to potentially build up in a chassis with dual power supplies, and usually you have to pay a lot more to get a really good 5 channel amp that takes that abuse. You would be better off with those choices if you design the system to use a 2 ohm load on the sub channel. In theory it's only a 3 dB loss of output by cutting the power in half. I would pass on that OBCON box you have listed in your signature. A generic ported box is a bad idea. You might have someone nearby who can design and build a really good ported box to perfectly fit out of the way. [/QUOTE]
