[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 2119187, member: 549523"] They have been tested extensively at 0.5 ohms on Stereo Integrity woofers and therefore I will warranty them at this load on these speakers. The amplifier is only rated to handle 1 ohm loads in the specifications in the first place, it is a byproduct of the overbuilt nature of the amplifier that it handles 0.5 ohms at all -- a safety net if you will. It is stable at a 0.5 ohm load and has been extensively tested on SI woofers which I happen to have years of hands on experience with to begin with, so I decided to guarantee it on these woofers only. If I wanted to do warranty coverage at 0.5 ohms for everyone that load would appear on the official spec sheet. It really is as simple as that. I didn't imagine that extending extra coverage under warranty would be stepping on anyones toes! As Hollis mentioned, I have been associated with SI since 2002 and therefore I am very familiar with how their products behave so I am confident in pairing my product with theirs at a load that exceeds the regular specifications of the amplifier.
