[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7789983, member: 573547"] I seriously doubt anyone here who can offer up any useful advice has used that amp...I have not either. Do realize that with a 4 ohm load, you might be getting 100 to 200 watts to each sub with that amp.(a shot in the dark) I would strongly advise against reducing the resistance to 1 ohm.
