[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1427201, member: 550915"] Here's the deal. Orion never rated it below 1ohm STEREO 2 ohms mono. I have heard of people running them daily at 1 ohm mono but I was never willing to risk my IRREPLACABLE amp to test what someone else claimed, because I have seen way too many stupid claims over the years. You can wire those subs to a 2 ohm load and run them that way. It's rated to produce 800watts at that load with 3dB of headroom meaning it will make over 1600 rms for short periods of time at 2 ohms mono. Start pushing it much beyond that and you are asking for trouble. Also consider that the internal fusing is only for 100A. I ran 6 10w6v1s on a single 2100 for about 6mos (totaled the vehicle) and I blew a 20A speaker fuse twice. @ 2 ohms a 20A fuse is 800rms and it takes 150% of the rated capacity of a fuse to blow it; that's over 1800 watts @ 2ohms. Will that be enough for you? [/QUOTE]
