zx1500.1

[05gliguy 10+ year member]

I'm shopping around for a new amp and I came across the Kicker zx1500.1 and at cardomain it said it was 1 ohm stable, is that right? I thought zx series was 2 ohm stable...

IIRC, they are 1ohm stable...

The kx are only 2ohm stable...

if i remember correctly

It's 2 ohm stable, but most people who have run them at 1 ohm have done so with no problems thanks to impedance rise.

Thanks for all your replys...

Are the zx's underrated?

yes very much so, these amps are tanks.

So it would be perfect to power my cvx's at 1 ohm?

Very underrated

I've installed a ZX750.1 that did 942w @ 2 ohms, and a ZX1000.1 that was 124?w @ 2 ohms. The 1500 is very underrated, too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yeah jman my amp (zx1000.1) will push right around 1250

Still questioning the zx1500, does anyone or know anyone that have had any personal experience running the amp at 1 ohm. I read the other threads and I've seen where people say they know people who have done it...

my friend was running a zx1500.1 at 1 ohm with two batteries in his trunk off a 80 amp alt. At one ohm you can expect around 2300 watts. I have a zx1500.1 running at 2 ohms and its a powerhouse. Just make sure your electrical is up to par

To clear up the impedance confusion, the kx1200.1 was rated at 1 ohm and the zx1500.1 is rated at 2 ohms.
