What would the 8 Ohm rating be on this Amp?

[LeeAudio 10+ year member]

So far, for the price especially. I really like this amp:

Power Acoustik GT1-6000D

Power Acoustik GT1-6000D Monoblock 6000W Gothic Series Car Amplifier

Here is what I am in need of, a HIGH Powered 8 Ohm amp. I will be running it at 8 Ohms, do you think it will do a true 1000 Watts RMS at this? It is rated at 2300 Watts RMS at 4 Ohms! I am not so sure it will do that but, the reviews and due diligence research on it thus far have been pretty solid. I have always been a 4 Ohm and 8 Ohm type of person, so this amp really caught my eye.

Any experiences with it? Please share

Got an 8 ohm driver? 150 amps of fusing...

Yah I pretty much figured that, the only way to know for sure is going to be to clamp it. And no. They will be Dual 2's, I just do not like running amps at anything lower than 4 Ohm's. In my opinion, 8 Ohm's is even toooo low.

You might get 50 watts at 8ohm. That amp is a POS. What's wrong with running under 4ohm?

You won't get 1000W into 8 ohms for 200$. Might look into some Brazilian amps that make max power at 2 ohms. The Stetsom 4K2D for example should do 1000w or more at 8 ohm.

Any way you slice it I don't see you doing that power into 8 ohms for less than 600$ and that's buying used.

I'm wondering what your reasoning is with the notion that car audio amplifiers need to be run at 8Ω and above?

I ended up just getting a Hifonics ZRX3000.1. So, I'll just be running it at 2 Ohm's instead.

I researched those Stetsoms, those look like amazing amps. Just way out of my price range, maybe one day! Lol.
