.5 ohm load.

I run my m3a at .3 daily

I only drive for no more than about 20 minutes at a time though so if my drive was longer or i drove more often im not sure i would run it that low.

 
Wow a lot of you must really like the smell of an electrical fire, I use too run everything as low as I could when I was younger but after ruining a few amps I would now rather find something that did what I needed at it's highest impedance rating or at least it's stated lowest impedance.

its different if your careful. takes a lot of testing and stuff to make sure your not ruining anything.

 
When talking about about impedance why does everyone only talk about rise? There is a very good reason amps are rated for what they are. If you run daily there is no reason to wire that low.

The idea of having an amp wired lower then rated, was for compaction use only. It still is actually.

In the lanes when playing a single note you can control the environment and see what is going on. Playing music....nope you have no clue what is actually going on at any given second.

well when I was younger I got away with it a few times but the latest time I was monitoring everything and only at 1ohm on a 2ohm stable amp it never even got warm never dropped below 12v but it still gave up after a while and I wasn't even pulling it's rms at 2ohm (2000rms) I had it set for 1600 didn't matter.

you do a lot of testing with subs and boxes doesn't rise work in both ways, basically impedance may go up or rise but it can also go down below what it's wired at as well right?
