[QUOTE="The_Quiet_One, post: 8509944, member: 614562"] As a general rule running an amp at .5 ohms is more power hungry than an amp running at 2 ohms. Higher current = More power dissipated as heat. Wiring lower doesn't magically give you more power free. It takes its toll in the form of increased power draw from alt/batts. Not to mention your amp may or may not have the capability to sustain the current you're demanding from it. Most people tend to only run at .5 to max out the amp, otherwise why not run at a higher impedance? Maybe ask and look around and see how the CAB 1600.1's hold up and verify they are strappable. If so those would be a good fit. You can also look for kicker kx2500 they make their power at 2 ohms and can be found fairly regularly for ~400 [/QUOTE]
