[QUOTE="Kam311, post: 8594068, member: 673335"] There is absolutely no reason the amp you have shouldn't handle playing full tilt at 1ohm if your connections are good and your electrical is stout. The rf amp is also underrated so it doesn't only produce 1500w, it probably does a couple hundred watts more. That's quite a bit on a stock electrical. What size is your power and ground? Are you using true copper wiring? What is your Amp grounded to? What ohm load are your subs wired to, and how do you know? If you have dvc4 subs, try wiring them in series instead since you amp should do the same at 4 ohm as it does 1. That would be crazy for an amp that costs $500+ for only 1500 watts to not be able to handle producing the 1500w at rated ohm load. Especially when there are $150 - $300 options that can play full tilt @ 1ohm all day. [/QUOTE]
