[QUOTE="XTRProBoy, post: 2284129, member: 571009"] Perhaps, but personally I'd rather not chance it. I guess I'm just one of those people that doesn't run amps into lower impedances than rated. Plus the power not being rated at a lower impedance, you then have to wonder how the amp is regulating below 2-ohms. Is power increasing or is the amp regulating such that power stays the same as the 2-ohm load? That would mean the difference in choosing their ZX750.1 or their ZX1000.1 to try to get the power you want, at 1-ohm. A guessing game and a game of risk I'd rather not get into. Also I don't get where electrical system comes into play. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG] If you have an electrical system and wiring to support the wattage you're getting, then that's what you have. Unless the amps somehow go to like 10% efficiency when they're run at 1-ohm, you shouldn't need any more of an electrical system than using another similar-class amp putting out the same power level at 1-ohm (or any other impedance really). Anyway that's all kind of OT I guess. [/QUOTE]
