Run Z1 @ 1 or 2 ohms??

As soon as I do my recones done on my 9510 E's( 2 of them) i'm pretty much done with my install, so what would you run the amp at? Specs are as follows...

12 Volts:

4.6 ohms = 2279W

2.3 ohms = 3405W

1.15 ohms = 4188W

14,4 Volts:

4.6 ohms = 3042W

2.3 ohms = 4461W

1.15 ohms = 5358W

I'll be doing my best to keep it at 14.4 volts, you think I would ahve any problems running them at 2600ish apiece? It is the first gen ig its gonna make that much of a difference.

yeah, the first gen one's smoke pretty easy if you're doing 1 ohm or lower loads for burps at 14v. I went thru a couple of them and ended up getting my money back. The Z1a's dont have the issue though.

Well its gonna be my daily driver so i'll probably stick to 2 ohms i guess...maybe 1 ohm for comps
