DVC solobarics 1ohm vs. 4ohm??? HELP!

[dpatt420 10+ year member]

Ok so I took all of your advice that said a Kicker 1500.1 amp (2 ohm stable) would handle 1 ohm just fine. Well it does not. Protection kicks on at high levels.

I have 2 Solobaric 4 ohm subs. I was looking at the rockford fosgate wiring diagram and wired them up for a 1 ohm load. Well that didnt work so I am now looking at the diagram for a 4ohm load.

The sub sounded great before protection kicked in. How much of a difference will I notice changing the load to 4 ohm?

It shouldn't. If it does then there is something is most likely wrong with the amp.

No - the amp won't go into protection when shown a 4 Ohm load. It will just yield a significantly lower output level. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
