[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8399591, member: 574798"] So to answer your question about running at 1 ohm or 2 ohm. There's nothing wrong with running at 2 ohm. Everyone ran at 2 ohm back then because none of the amps were 1 ohm stable. Nowadays almost every amp is 1 ohm stable so you're just wasting money by running it at 2 ohms is how I look at it. So instead of getting the 1000w that you paid for, now you're only getting roughly 725w or less according to specs. With impedance rise from your box and the fluctuation of music frequencies, you're very likely getting less than that. But the good thing is you spent the money towards a good custom box and that alone will make up for the wasted power. May I ask what your specs are for the box? [/QUOTE]
