[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8521400, member: 650438"] After voltage drops and box rise, you wont even be at 1000 watts. Its not the amp, its just basic physics, actually do a clamp test and youll see that even wired to 1 ohm, you will actually be around 2 to 4 ohms depending on frequency used. Now other underground subs will handle this clamped power easy however type R subs cannot handle a real 1000 watts clamped. When they rate the sub, they dont rate it for clamped power. So yes the sub cannot handle the wattage you are giving it. Might want to swap it out with a real sub in the future. As for your amp, every hifonics brutus Ived used, you need to be at 14.4 volts and up. Actual power output drops SHARPLY below 14volts. [/QUOTE]
