[QUOTE="dragon.breath, post: 8821189, member: 582656"] I am currently running a smart 3 at a 2 ohm load. I did some trading with a friend of mine, and I will be getting a md5000.1 1 ohm version from him next week sometime. I originally was just going to either sell the 5k or put it away for a possible build next year. Ok, here’s the question, would I gain anything from using the 5k instead of the smart 3 at my current 2 ohm load? The 5k is rated at 3200 watts at 2 ohms. Where the smart 3 is 3000 watts at 2 ohms. I know the extra 200 watts is not going to be noticeable, but what I am wondering about is the efficiency. I know that due to the design, the smart 3 is not super efficient at 2 ohms. (69% efficient @2 ohms according to YouTube) On the other hand, a 1 ohm amplifier is generally more efficient at 2 ohms. [/QUOTE]
