[QUOTE="Kapet, post: 8718577, member: 681111"] Some of them can do 1 ohm, but most of them can't or they go nuts or pop under 1 ohm load. The Taramps smart models and bass line models can do 1 ohm but most of the others don't particularly like it. Most of them are 2 ohm stable. Those who wire them down to 1 ohm know what they're doing and allocate adequate battery potential to attain that amount of power at a stable voltage cuz voltage drop is the common culprit ppl face with them causing excessive current draw which causes heat. And have you compared the heat sinks of the Brazilians as compared to the Koreans? That's another important factor there. They do stupid power at lower voltages but when you ask them for more power.... best believe that you must provide them with adequate voltage to produce it. Why they don't like 1 ohm? It has to do with the design. You'd have to research on full bridge design to have an understanding of what's going on in those Brazilian amps. The FETS and other circuitry in full bridge are modern components with much higher voltage and current tolerances, as a result of that, the components are driven hard by default, close to their full potential. So when you ask it to do 1 ohm when it is not rated for that, you will have a problem, cuz you're asking more from a circuit that is already being driven hard at 2 ohm. What do you think is gonna happen then? You're gonna clip that amp very early, and guess what another thing Brazilian amps don't like?.... Ding! Ding! Ding!!! You might have guessed it. Why they don't like clipping you may ask? Same answer I just explained! Not saying that there aren't Brazilian amps that can't do 1 ohm, cuz there are trickling in. Full bridge technology isn't new... It's been around for ages. It's just recently been improved and made power more affordable.
