Running Below Recommended Ohm Load

[billyrodriguez 10+ year member]

I was wondering if it would be safe to run a Soundstream PCA 1500d @.5ohm, or a Memphis 1000D @.5 ohm? This will only be for a few short burps. And if so, which would be better suited to do so?

I know someone has done this before.....I am more curious as to which one would be easier on the amp at 1/2ohm.

yes alot of times just for burps they can handle this, sometimes have to mod the amps taking out the protection circuits also, as far as which one is better, prob about the same but unsure about the soundstream one, so thinking prob about same
