[QUOTE="The_Quiet_One, post: 8596627, member: 614562"] Hopefully, but if it doesn't. *shrug* It's one thing to run below rated impedance. It's another thing to run below impedance with a bad electrical system. If you're talking about a car receiver, a car receiver doesn't produce much power so it won't strain your system if you run it a bit below rated impedance. If you're talking about a home receiver you have a pretty robust electrical grid providing it constant voltage; a car is a completely different animal. 120V AC vs 12V DC isn't apples to apples. It's just not a good idea to hedge your bets on protect mode with 1500+ watts on a potentially bad electrical system. As long as you know you are gambling with your equipment and are fine with the chance of blowing something then you might can squeak by with your current plans, but I would highly suggest being [B]extremely conservative[/B] with both the gain and the volume knob if you are dead set on using what you have at 1.333 ohms.
