iv hurd a few guys saying they run there hifonics brutus 1600 at .5 ohm daily, im stuck with two solo baric l7 and im about to make a new box so i want to know what im stuck with doing. i can

a: run this amp at 2 ohm and underpower them(wich im doing now and dont like it)

b: run one sub in one ported box at full power(from the sounds of it will be louder then the set up i have atm)

c: build a ported box for both of them and run the amp at .5(if i can get a few guys to say they have done it or seen it work fine)or

d: build a ported box for both of them and buy a nother hifonic(****ing sucks)

i really dont want to go down to one sub tho;( please add any imput you have thanks alot.

**** you man , now your going to bad mouth me on the internet.... just call me. anyway the box is being made as we speek just need anotherhifonics how. thanks alot for all the input guys( i went this rout for safty and life of the amp's)the box is for both of them ported 4.5 cubes so i get around 4.25 cubes of room wich is not great but i think will sound alot better then the one on the one hifonics amp, in the end it will take a bit longer but sound a hell of alot better i think

1 sub ported ported properly with more power, is better than 2 subs ported non-properly with less power to each..

**** it miker you are imfomus for not reading the question or the replys, the box is comeing with ample room for both subs along with another hifonics to strap them down (in a month or so) if i dont like it underpowered with 1100 watts. eather way it will be twice as loud as the one in a ported box by the end of the project

i got a 1605 and i ran at 1 ohm for awhile, never touched a half ohm but mine stayed really cool at 1 ohm.

I would be a little iffy at .5 though

ya man my buddy cheesemind up there got it for me, when i got the idea up of .5 ohm he told me about the 35 doller one year warenty. i almost said **** it and bought the warranty and tryed it out but instead i got a new box(my old box is shit) and i plan on another hifonics to run at 2 ohms and play it safe( this also gives the subs the little bit of too much power everyone seams to think they will take) as i said i think it is by far the best option. thanks alot for all your input guys
