Rockford 1501BD - 1 ohm stable?

[HardHitter 10+ year member]

I know that they rate the 1501BD as 2ohm stable the lowest, but I have heard that someone's been running the amp at 1.5ohms (two 12W7's) getting around 2000W out of it and they were also saying that they've seen it run 1ohm as a daily driver. Anyone have experience?

i would think that you could run that amp at the lowest 1.5 ohm...thats imo...but if ya want to make a $400 mistake, well hmmmmmmmm..run it above 1.5 at the lowest...but i still dont recommend it
