What?.

actually if you pull the cover off there is a Phillips head dial should be at 3/4 turn from factory, turn her all the way up i was able to get an extra 200 watts rms out of mine.

or just wire it down to .5 ( assuming you have 2 dual 2 ohm woofers.

This. I used to run one and I agree with this guy.

dont run at half ohm. i saw a guy compete with one of these amps at .5 ohm and that amp went poof real quick

I have some 4gauge wire with a 200a alt, the 4 gauge wire is bigger than some 1/0 gauge.

Its not worth it.

 

[njknittle 10+ year member]

Its not worth it.

What about what Kramer said? Is there a dial inside the Amp that i can turn? And if there is, is that a risky thing to do?

oh really? bc i dont remember you having a sub or subs that could be wired down to .5? none the less i wouldnt advise it but thats just me

Kramer knows more about them than me. I just know they shouldn't be run to .5 ohms. Especially if you are just goin for daily it isn't worth it to go below one ohm

Then i guess we've come to a conclusion. No .5ohm!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

Stick to 2 ohm. It'll give you less headaches.

Isnt the amp the same @ 1 ohm and 2 ohm? There is almost no point to run it that low anyway. U will see just about no gain, and will not hear a difference, AT ALL.
