[QUOTE="Savant, post: 189544, member: 546108"] Not sure if your amp is 1 ohm stable.. As a rule of thumb, if you double the resistence you 1/2 the available power.. so I'd guess at 4 ohm you'd have ~550 watts.. will it sound the same? That depends on where you have your gain set now and how much room you have left.. if you are running your current sub near 'max', then no.. it won't sound the same.. it would sound about 1/2 as loud (double the power = double the loudness.. double the surface area = double the loudness.. or so I've been told).. It might be enough, or your current settings might be low enough that you have room to turn up the gains so that max output matches what you currently have (meaning you might only be running 550 watts now .. prolly more, but you get the idea).. You should be able to find that amp on RF's web site, or some place on the web.. that should tell you if it's 1 ohm stable.. Good luck [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
