Are you joking? You have over 3k posts... n00b.

Yes it'll be fine. Won't put out full power though...

that amp will NOT handle a 2.67 ohm load. the only amp i know that will handle that impedence, without costing a king's ransom, is the PG tantrum 1200.1. i am also selling my tantrum. let me know.

I wouldn't say it's the only amp that will tolerate it for cheap, not like the Tantrum is that cheap even on the used market //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The JBL BP1200.1 will also handle a 2 and 2/3 ohm load, albeit at slightly reduced power. Models in good condition will be cheaper than the PG.

so it wont handle it?

i should go with 4 12"s instead lol, i cant find a box for 4 12"S that i like...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif or one that willbe good....i just dont have much experience with this amp that much and i wanted to make sure i knew what i was getting into

If its stable at 2, why wouldnt it be stable at 2.67? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I have an Orion 2500d, it puts out full power @ 1-ohm. If I ran it at 2-ohms, it'd be just fine.

so you'll get a little less then 2400 watts.

You are running it above the amp's minimum impedance... YOU ARE FINE!

hos does someone get 3,424 posts and not know the answer to this question //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif . or how to build their own box...

your amp will be fine. it wont even be seeing 2.67 ohms while playing anyways //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
