KICKER DX 700 1ohm stable?

Does anybody if these can run at 1ohm, and if they can about how much power should it put out?

If Kicker says it is not 1 ohm stable, its a good chance its not 1 ohm stable. With that said, run it at one ohm and see how it does at lower volumes.

Maybe you can try using a dmm and setting your gains to see what type of volts its putting out and then figure out the power from there.

I dont know if that makes sense?

I used to run my MTX 801D at 1 ohm, I did it for about 2 years before upgrading to a 1 ohm amp, it did get warm, but it never shut off or went into protect.

That little thing was a tank, maybe you will have the same luck!

Yeah I could always just try it out, I was just wondering if anybody knew already. I know the old kicker amps are built like tanks so it might be up to it.

I dunno if I would even do that.

So I shouldn't even attempt it?

I used to have that amp. I used it to power a pair of 4ohm PG Ti sub. I wired it at a 2ohm load and it never had a problem with shutting off. It took a beating. When I got the AA sub, I tried to use that amp again, it did not work well. The AA sub was a DVC 2ohm and it would shut off after a few minute of playing. It got really hot too.

So for me at least, it is not stable at 1ohm. I did buy the amp used though.

Well im guessing if it wasnt stable for you it wouldnt work for me.
