so a guy at a car audio shop tells me if i run my memphis at 1 ohm it will cause a bunch of distorition must be good acid right? the lower the ohm load the more distortion haaaaaaaaa

whatt? yes the lower the ohm load the more distortion..true. what about the acid?

alot of older gurus think that way, I had one locally that told me to never run lower than 2ohms, never no matter what...

lol oh i thought that was bs so true fact? i swear i read diff on here before

If properly designed the amplifier will still have inaudible levels of distortion when running @ 1ohm......so it's a moot point.

ive had the owner of a audio shop and former spl competitor tell me that the massive audio dmx 15 shouldnt be wired to 1 ohm because 1 ohm will blow most subs

The lower the ohms, yes, the distortion level does rise. How much is open for debate and different for each amp.

That post made absolutely no sense......

on this point I will totally agree with squeak, if your amp is designed to run at 1ohm or lower you don't have an issue, I would highly suggest keeping the cliping to a minimum.

You have no choice but to agree with squeak

a memphis mojo 2000d ran at 1 ohm with the mod to run at 1ohm? distored?

hell, If I have enouhg balls to disagree with my wife, Squeak is a walk in the park, although both will 99% of the time win the debate

I have run my HCCA's to 1/2 ohm mono and as long they weren't clipping they kicked *** and the subs were fine, I can say that once I was clipping the subs went south rather quickly.

Doesn't matter, it's inaudible.
