[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8794221, member: 654802"] If the radio goes up to 35, you have to set your amp gains with radio volume at 27 (bass boost off in radio and amp, bass in EQ all the way up, bass knob halfway). If the amp is not rated for 1/2 Ohm load, you will be pushing it too hard and it will run out of "steam' during use. It does not get a chance to fully recouperate expended energy so bass output will dwindle with each consecutive hit. The amp is in danger of overheating and burning out. You may also clip your subs at this point. If amp is rated 1800w RMS then that is what it can safely put out all day. Max power is what you may see in a "burp", and is usually a number acheived in the most optimal conditions. I would completely ignore max claims. [/QUOTE]
