[QUOTE="bigbang, post: 3222215, member: 576408"] Nice selection of amps. I just have a couple MTX 1501D's and a 1004. Solid performers but not as exotic. I don't think running an amp at low ohm loads is worse, you just have to keep check on your total current consumption. After all 1100 at 2 ohms is almost the same as 1100 at 1 ohm as far as your electric system cares. I think the amps efficiency just goes down as you halve the impedance and you generally get a little less than a doubling of wattage. Dont you think a giant cap would at least help for a split second on a bass burp regardless of a great electric system/amps ? By the way, off the cap subject, how much was the labor for your alt. upgrade, did you have to replace all the factory alternator wiring, does the alt mess with your vehicle electric or fry any of your relay boards or any of the horror stories I have heard about?
