i have the 6500D amp and its a stout lil thing. did u have to mod yours to get it to play at 1 ohm?

No. Both the 6500 and 81000 did fine with a 1 ohm load. The 81000 went on to drive a 3510 d2 for about a year or so.

Seeing as how the wife just got a new(to her) car, the 6500 will soon see action once again.

( I bought this 6500 new...maybe 9 years ago)

To be honest 1 ohm with those amps was more hit/miss then most remember. Some were modded to run 1 ohm, but they were never meant to run 1 ohm daily. I know many did, but that was not the intention thus the 2 ohm ratings. They were good amps though for the most part.

Especially since as said above, it basically only survived a single stroke. lol

Reminds me of my first date........

Yes it was-lol. A very good electrical was a must for 81000d. I seen a few that had the protection chip removed( "the mod") and they seemed to do fine with a good electrical. Doing the mod thou, would take all of the protection out of the amps.

Seeing as how mine would run @ 1 ohm with out the mod.....they were never molested.

I do miss the 81000 quite a bit thou...

MTX *****? This is news to me. When I was in high school, MTX was just as good as Rockford or JL Audio lol. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Seriously, I remember a friend's 2x12 MTX setup that was very impressive back in '96/97 or so.

I will be running a 12" 5500, 4 ohm SVC soon with a Kenwood (gasp!) amp. Going in an '02 330xi. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

None at all actually, they don't own it. Richard Clark does, and it's sitting in his barn/garage in North Cackalacky amongst his GNX grave yard . I have seen it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I was referring to the build a box comment. lol

I remember that talks about it way back in the day. I only got to see pictures never in person as it was never in missouri(or at least not when I was around). Now, there are some things I could tell you about how MTX was started and funded that would put a dark shadow over things..but no reason for that haha.

He was talking about using a armored truck as an enclosure for it lol. I think he just gave up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
