[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7848074, member: 573547"] in rudimentary form: 2500watts @2ohms on 14.4v at 80% efficiency: 2500/80%= 3125 watts required to produce 2500 watts 3125/14.4v= 217 amps required to produce 2500 watts 2500 watts @.5ohm on 14.4v at 70% efficiency:(70% is conservative) 2500/70%= 3571 watts required to produce 2500 watts 3571/14.4v= 248 amps required to produce 2500 watts 31 amps difference in efficiency. And the order of a magnitude difference in THD between the nendo 2000 at .5 and the Alpine 2400 at 2ohms. I do not consider an amp to be .5 ohm stable unless the manufacturer advertises and warrants that use. There are many that will do it but not stated in their specs to do so. The ability to produce more power at .5 is a solid indication that the amp will have adequate headroom and built like a tank at the spec'ed 1ohm.
