[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 4183464, member: 576010"] Don't worry about that... I wouldn't trust half the members of this forum to install toilet paper in my bathroom...

Now, what your biggest concearn should be is not trying to exceed the current capacity of the amplifer... we all know the hifonics amps are a bit overrated, but I will assume it still has a current capacity of 40 amps.... From ohms law that basically means that at .5ohms you don't want the output to try and exceed 20 volts (or 800 watts) or the amp will start to run into heavy clipping; and you risk running out of the safe operating area for the powersupply and output fets...
