Running a 1.333 ohm load....is it worth it????

[dcole302 10+ year member]

About how much power would a Hifonics Brutus 1600d at 1.333 ohms put out? Would it be worth it to run 3 12's at this ohm load or 2 15's that'll get a 1 ohm load?

You have box rise anyway, your past 2 ohms most like //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

What?

BOX RISE.

Its the rise in impedence because of your box. Search the forums.

You dont need to worry about it either way. Box rise happens with any box and any sub. Im just saying, with box wise, if your wired to 1.33, youd be lucky if its actaully seeing 2 ohms. Dont worry about it.
