i keep hear about people saying that they're 1 ohm stable, is this really true?

and how are people hooking up multiple subs to this amp with on the 2 speaker things, just the + -

Yes all the PA monos are 1ohm stable... I run my a2400db at 1ohm

they don't do rated power though that's the only bad thing.

Someone benched the PA A2400DB and hey said it benched 1250w RMS @ 1 ohm when the **** thing is rated 1800w RMS @ 1 ohm...others claim theirs benched1300w RMS but either way be careful setting your gains.

Also all I have seen the PA A1000DB's rated for is 600w RMS x 1 @ 4 ohms and 1000w RMS @ 2 ohms.

What's the max amp fuse rating on the PA A1000DB?The PA A2400DB has 4x 40 amp fuses on it so a max fuse rating of 160amps.

My look at it seeing as they have been benched at 1250-1300w RMS is like this...

160amps x 14.4v = 2304w PEAK/MAX

2304w MAX x .75 (75% amp efficiency) = 1728w MAX/PEAK

1728w MAX x .75 = 1296w RMS @ 1 ohm

1296w RMS x .75 = 972w RMS @ 2 ohms

972w RMS x .75 = 729w RMS @ 4 ohms

This is no way to calculate an amps RMS wattage though..there are two ways and unless you have the major boku bucks the second is your only option.

Get a DMM and a Clamp Meter.

But I wouldn't doubt that the formula would be a close bet with the DB series PA amplifiers.
