is the zx1000.1 1ohm stable?

thinking about getting th zx 1000.1 to power my two eclipses. but what i see on this website says 500wrms @ 4ohms, 1000w max@ 2ohm.

It is NOT 1 ohm stable. If you run it at one ohm you are voiding the waranty and run the risk of frying it.

Some people have run it @ 1 Ohm and said it presented no issues.

My idea on that is that they likely weren't actually showing the amp a 1 Ohm load when factoring in nominal resistance as opposed to rated resistance + box rise...

So - were it me and I needed a truly 1 Ohm stable amp I think I would look elsewhere.

If you are running below the rated stability of an amp you have to be careful with it.
