OK. I still wouldn't do it if you wanted to keep that amp a while. It won't last long.

just sell it and get a right amp for your subs.. or vice versa with your subs.

It will play at 1ohm , I competed with mine playing at 1ohm for an entire season .

It will shut down easier though , and like stated before it will cut down the lifespan of the amp .

Mine is still running at 1ohm to this day in my sons car .....
