very powerfull amps ... although i would never take it to .5 ohms... mine fried @ 1ohm after a few months of hard abuse ...

i had mine on 2 12" L7s and it made me halfway deaf

even with it modded to do .5?

the "mod" just requires taking out a protection chip.

yea the mod is simply taking out the protection circuit... the amp was never made to do 1 ohm... how long do you think it will last at .5 ohms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

but hey, go for it , i only payed $140 for mine so it wasent that big of a loss

i've ran mine around 6 months now and it works fine...i have 3 of my subs hooked up at .67 ohm but with imp rise it sits even at 1 ohm...

i'd say go for it.....all depends on price though..you can get them on ebay all day long between 200-225...mod it in 10 min and be done..

just copied and pasted

1.

The dont do it from the factory because the chip you remove is the part of the protection circuitry that shuts the amp down if it see's a load below 2 ohms (ie dead short) so when modded you have to be careful not to touch the speaker leads together while the amp is on, or you will short it out. And yes the mod will allow up to 18.5 dc volts and down as low as you feel comfortable on impedance... I wouldnt suggest any lower than .5 for daily.

2.

q 240 is located in the south west quadrant of the amp... you have to be careful to not remove d240 that is right beside it. Also, the compression circuit is a little white button next to the rca end of the amp. It needs to be pushed in the "out" position.
