From: Why "daily" systems should not count on impedance rise

Recommended Posts

"Dropping an amp to 1/2 ohm doubles the output current (up until the amp just can't put out more at least) and makes everything less efficient so the power supply in turn draws more current, often times inducing more voltage drop which calls for MORE current to maintain the same output level - again, turning into a cycle if it continues until something fails."

What about amps that are 1/2ohm stable?

Doesn't matter, its ohms law.

No. I'm saying.. like, why would they make an amp 1/2 stable if.. ( see bold )

Same can be said about 1 ohm compared to 2 ohm and so on. As long as the amp is built to take the abuse of low ohm loads, personally I wouldn't run anything lower then 1 ohm on subs for daily situations.

Okay, i'm thinking about the Crescendo Audio :: Amplifers :: 3KWP Monoblock Amplifier

but i wouldn't want it to break on me

Would like to see that amp handle 0.5

Buy it, do it, then tell me how it goes :)

I agree, its basically a Saz-3000d board.. it is actually. Just because it's rated and able to go down to .5 ohms.. it doesn't mean you HAVE to.

Well no shit, but if you needed what it put out at .5 and its rated to handle .5.. you would run it at .5, no?
