[QUOTE="dbjunior, post: 8539106, member: 611973"] Wiring to .5 drops efficiency needing stronger electrical to keep voltage up. Without keeping voltage up you add additional stress to the amp making failure more likely. A quality amp with good quality internals will handle .5 for a long time on good voltage and decent box rise. If you voltage is not kept up it drastically reduces amp life wired lower than recommended. My atomic had no issues running .5 for over 2 years but my taramps are being used at rated 1ohm. Will .5 reduce an amps life, yes even with strong electrical but how much is unknown. Amp under normal conditions might last 20years, at .5 it might be half that with strong electrical, with weak electrical it might not last a day [/QUOTE]
