[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5354704, member: 584344"] I believe any amp run under 1-ohm, the warranty is automatically voided. Well, not all coils are exactly 4-ohms or whatnot. What you get off your DMM will be the proper resistance that the amp sees. DMMs were designed to get a proper reading regardless, so any resistance that the DMM puts out, it equates for when giving you the number. The calculators are in a perfect world, when not all coils are perfect. Most people's impedance isn't what they actually say it is. It's close enough for us to round it up (or down) to a nice whole number. If your DMM reads 1, the resistance is 1. And OP: What you can do is set your gains properly on the amp, wire it down to 1-ohm, and play it at low volumes, and begin to go up while touching the bottom side of the amp (or wherever the board is closest to.) If it begins to get hot, turn it off. Period. The down side to this is that it might blow a FET after extended periods of time playing. But if you're worried about it playing properly... don't even do it. It's not worth it. Get another D4, or get rid of one. [/QUOTE]
