Bd1500.1 @ 1 ohm

[AliasX 10+ year member]

Well anyone know anyone running one at 1 ohm? Is it safe? What kinda power can i expect from it you think?

4 ohm = 750 rms

2 ohm = 1500 rms

1 ohm = ????

Would the power output be the same as 2 ohm or would it jump up a lot?

first off, RF does not recommend that you run it at 1ohm.

second, I asked this question before to quite a lot of people but no reply.

I'm guessing it might be like JBL's monoblock, that the power might remain the same, else it'll draw amps on a whole new level.

of course there are competitors who run bd1500.1's at 1 ohm with 16v input //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif lol.

not recommended, but i would assume that it increases power...

some peopl ahve been able to have them run for some periods, but few for long
