2 ohm stable amp running at 1 ohm

[lakaiguy 0]

Amp: 1200x1 at 2 ohms

Subs: 2 DVC 4 ohms subs wired to 1 ohm

I'm using a DMM to set the gains and my guestion is: Do I set the gains using the formula volts = SqRt of(1200 x 1) or volts = Sq Rt of (1200 x 2)

The difference is 34.6 volts for the 1200 watts at 1 ohm and 48.9 volts for the 1200 watts at 2 ohms

Did you buy the amp from the dealer??

What you ideally need is what power that amp produces at 1 ohm.

From my past experience reading posts, it doesn't produce much more than it makes at 2 ohms. Probably about 200 more watts.

And dangerously. What amp is it?

the amp does 1200 at 2 ohms

i need it to do 1200 at 1 ohm

it does it just fine but yes wildly inefficient

i'm just curious what voltage reading i should start with 34.6 or 48.9
