Meh.

this will be a switch from a mbquart dsc 1000.1 which is a pos and other options for a amp in that price range would be little budget amps.

Why 4 ohms?

 

[kyleorsini 10+ year member]

becasue the ixl is a dual 2 ohm driver and i only need 1200rms for the driver

They dont do a whole lot of power at 4 ohms.... I used to have a pair

 

[kyleorsini 10+ year member]

it should do more then my current amp correct?

Get a 20.1 or something and run it at 1 ohm, keep your gains down.

 

[MakeshiftAudio 10+ year member]

You could go one ohm by putting the two coils in parallel. You will be assured the power at that load. Just be sure to set your gain.

Follow this chart to properly set your gain.

Pretty much how all amps run, except for the ones designed to work at a different load, such as US Amps 2000X or whatever.

maybe he's just buying this amp for his set-up right know, then will upgrade him sub(s) in the future. what does running it at 1 ohm and 4 ohms have to do with anything, he's still going to be running 1200 watts. running it at 4 ohms will be better on his electrical anyways.

 

[MakeshiftAudio 10+ year member]

You will not be satisfied I think. Do what you will, you have been advised.
