[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8832168, member: 682903"] If it is for music, wiring to 0.5 is not advised. Impedance on music can vary quite a bit, and it isn’t worth the risk. If at certain frequencies / volume levels the amps sees the 0.5 ohm, which is very likely / possible, the amp will be trying to pass far more current than it was designed for, also may trigger the protection circuitry, or it should. If you were competing in SPL, at a specific frequency, you might be able to keep the impedance near a certain point. With music, just don’t do it if you want your amp to last. [/QUOTE]
