[QUOTE="Fi-brations, post: 7572313, member: 636442"] What are the advantages and disadvantages of using one amp for two subs at 0.5ohms vs. using 2 amps for two subs at 1ohm? Are there any problems with running an amp at 0.5ohms even if the amp is half ohm stable? Would I have noticeable distortion or would it be too small to hear? Would it put more stress on my electrical system/amp(s)/subs? I read something about subwoofers sounding louder with less wattage at higher ohms vs more wattage at lower impedance. What do u guys think? I'm looking to run 1500watts to each of my Fi Qs which have dual two ohm voice coils so I can wire two 1500 watt amps to them at 1 ohm or I could run them with one amp that does 3k watts at 0.5 ohms,[B] this will be in the future not anytime soon[/B] [/QUOTE]
