PDX 2 Ohm vs. 4 Ohms

[RuinedEarth 10+ year member]

I have a PDX 1.1000 and an ID MAX sub that can handle 1000 Watts RMS. I got it from a friend who had the Dual 4 Ohm voice coils, so I can only wire it to 2 ohms with my amp. I have heard that some people have had a problem with the PDX amps at 2 ohms even though they are rated for either 2 or 4 ohms. Should I spend some extra money to swap it with someone who has the 2 ohm DVC version? Does anyone have these amps and/or worked with them before? I have been running mine at 4 ohms with my old subs for over a year and a half now and they have been good, but never ran them at 2 ohms. Any help is appreciated.

I haven't heard a single complaint about running a PDX at 2 ohms.

if im not mistaken, isnt the PDX regulated power supply? It should be fine at 2ohms

I thought it would be, just didn't want to do any lasting damage to the amp w/ overheating or what-not. Don't have the money for a new one of those, and i love the one i have. Thanks guys
