Gain setting... not the usual question

[jdawg90 10+ year member]

I have a 18" D1 BL that is .75 ohm dcr per coil... i am buying a zx1500.1 in a couple hours and am not sure how to set the gain... should i set it using 1.5 ohm as the resistance or 2 ohms? THere is a big difference in the voltage output between those two (47v vs. 55v)... im leaning towards 2 ohm because it will probably be at that after rise, but i just want a second opinion... what im worried about in the frequency range there is little impendence rise the amp might clip....

thanks

Just set it assuming impedence is 2 ohms

I set my gain as a 2 ohm load
