Profile California 600sx v. 2-ohm Mono?

The manual only states it's 4-ohm Mono. Is it stable at 2-ohm or is there too much current?

is it a 2channel?

Well, sir, you obviously don't have one... or experience with one, so I don't really want your opinion on the matter-- but yes, it is. It's rated 150x2 @ 4, 450(might be 400)x1@4

I own several Profile amps, but not the particular one you're asking about.

I do know the Baja HA700M does fine at 1 ohm...for what that bit of info is worth.

I say give it a try and keep a cautioned eye on it.

Yeah, normally I wouldn't even ask and just go by rated-- but I know quite a few amps around (especially some older ones) can go below the resistances stated and do just fine.

I just wanted to see if anyone had first hand knowledge on the subject before I test things.

Oh, and I have to rub it in: picked this amp up used (6/10 cosmetic, though) for $20 bucks.

I'd give it a shot, man. Just keep an eye on it and cut it at the first sign of trouble.

By the way, I've run Profile amps MANY times with no trouble. They're awesome, and their cheap pricetag is a plus.

My buddy and I tried it on the same amp as yours back in highschool running 2 ohms mono to two 12" Kenwood Tornadoes and it worked just fine. However it gets pretty hot and it kicked in thermal protection a couple of times so just keep an eye on it and don't leave the volume way up for too long.

Thanks, bro. Any guesses on RMS output?

I'm not sure, probably around 550 watts or so. That amp puts out 450 watts in 4 ohms mono so it can't be much more than that.

I ran you're amp's previous model number (Profile California 2600) on a 2 ohm mono load with no problems a few years back.
