[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8863021, member: 689267"] Here's the thing. At 1.6ohms the amp will breathe a little and output will still exceed the rated power of the subs. There isn't any reason to run them at 1ohm with the higher powered amp or at 1500 watts if your subs max rated power is 500 each, 1000 together right? You would be running the D4S at its's upper limit to get it to that 1000 watt threshold. With the higher power amp, you can run it as I suggested, at 1.6 ohms and you will actually pull close to 1200 which is more than the subs are rated at. it's just better that way. For spl this is ideal, allows you to reach the maximum output threshold of the subs without making the amplifier work at maximum effort to get you there, comparatively [/QUOTE]
