[QUOTE="teamsubgopoof, post: 3545249, member: 568132"] there isn't a single woofer on the market that will take 2kw out of a low impedence class D amp for any long amount of time. Lets look at it like this...if your running 1 ohm on an amp and say your getting 2500watts...say it was 50 amps and 50 volts....thats sending 50 amps of current into the coil of your woofer. Now say your at 4 ohms...You've got 25 amps and 100 volts... still 2500 watts but with alot less amperage going into the coil...high amperage turns into heat and thats what damages your coils =) Thats why high quality a/b amps like the sh-1s, zapco 9.0s, and crowns can put out the same amount of power as any other amp but be alot louder and not destroy woofers in high voltage mode [/QUOTE]
