set your gains with a dmm and you will be ok.

Been a while since I looked at the 2500.1, BUT, they do put out 2.5kW@2ohms, soo if your drivers are sriously rated @ 500wrms, I think a 2500.1@2ohms would be a little too much.

Anyway.. He never said he had the R's.

I have an amp that will do 1250w @ 1 ohm if you are interested, and double a speakers RMS rating is never good to do unless you have some experience.

DMM's come with directions... get a fluke... well that's what i like and i've never had a problem with them... if the gains didn't matter then there would be no such thing.. i'm sure i could explain more... but you wouldn't understand... http://www.bcae1.com go there and start reading... you shall learn a lot young grasshopper
