Edit: Specs I found said 600w rms.

turn the gains way down with a 1 ohm load.

watch your gains

not three times rms it will be 1.9 times actually is its 1000 watts rms and im putting 1900 to it but also the amp is most likely over rated and i plan on using 47.8 volts or something like that which is 1000 watts

good plan.....the headroom may actually reduce your chance of clipping

im pretty sure its 1000 watts rms

I see its 1k... my previous comment was based on the rating of 600w i found online.

so i would be fine with 1 ohm and volts at 47.8 right?

31.6v

 

[pbnj22 10+ year member]

is that 1000 watts?

 

[ultimate157 5,000+ posts]

Yes, square root of 1000 * 1 = 31.6v
