[QUOTE="bigblank69, post: 8624117, member: 571469"] If they called this a 2ohm amp, and I wired it to a 2ohm load and it did fine... I would have ZERO issues with this amp at all. But... It also doesn't hit its power ratings (Not by a mile) at 2ohms. I can't help it if people wire below their rated impedences, and whether a the amp is Korean, Chinese, American, German etc.. I don't think you can blame the manufacturer when the amp fails and you go BELOW what load they state the amp can take. I don't recommend people take a CAB, an IA, or any amp below what the MFR states it can do. BUT I do expect an amp TO DO WHAT A MFR SAYS IT DOES! I don't care if it's full bridge, half bridge, class a/b, Class A, Class D, Class who gives a F U C K. If your going to say the amp is 1 ohm stable, it should be 1 ohm stable. If the MFR says it should do 3000W RMS, IT SHOULD DO 3000W RMS! The problem HISPLS is your ASSUMING, I am talking about and trashing FULL BRIDGE AMPLIFIERS. That IS NOT what I am doing. I talking about 1 AMP BOARD, that PRV themselves have stated is a problem (They buy their 3500 board from Stetsom as claimed by a PRV sales rep), and a Stetsom dealer has stated is a problem.
