[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8677505, member: 650438"] you never get 1 ohm power wired to 1 ohm. When the sub sees power and the coil travels through the motor, your ohms change. This information is only known to people that actually clamp test their amps for real world power numbers aka competitors in restricted power classes. When you wire to 1 ohm expect to see triple the impedance rise aka you will only see 2 to 4 ohm power out of the amp. Never anywhere close to 1 ohm. Its not the amp's fault, its basic physics and unavoidable. The only solution is to get more power than needed or wire stupid low with an amp that can handle it. This is the reason why some people wire their amps to 0.25 ohms. [/QUOTE]
