[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8616952, member: 614752"] The juice really isn't worth the squeeze. If you can't afford the cost and downtime of blowing up an amp avoid .5. "I know a guy" or "one of my buddies" getting away with it for some length of time doesn't invalidate the fact that halving the impedance quadruples the heat. There's no amount of "good electrical" or "clean power" or whatever other horseshit you'll be shoveled that makes .5 good for an amp; the fact that few if any manufacturers warranty at that point should tell you what you need to know there. Notice even the "good" ones like DD and IA that a lot of people wire very low still will not warranty there. [/QUOTE]
