MurphyGTP Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I have a L5 15", 2 ohms per coil. got it wired to 1 ohm now and it seems to work fine. Just wondering if this amp is fine @ 1Ohm in reality. I know on paper it's recommended 2 ohm or higher, but this amp seems durable. Thanks. I never use the bass boost, and gain stays at 8/11 or lower Memphis PR 12's Kicker zx750.1 Memphis PR 6x9's Pioneer 5.25's Planet Audio 3004 Kenwood KDC345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7jezuz7 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 As long as you have a good electrical and wiring for it there shouldn't be anything wrong. You know how most amps are 4 ohm stable off two channels bridged, well I had a 2 channel Kicker amp at 2 ohms bridged fine for about 2 years and it always kept up fine. That's 1 ohm per channel! Also I've seen people with those zx amps at 1 ohm before no problems. An Audio Technix 18" Strato on a Kicker KX120.2 My Youtube Bass Vids Updates When Possible...

And my amp is a KX, guess I got lucky on that one huh. OP, then disregard my previous post...

MurphyGTP Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Thanks for the responses. I'm put in a situation where either i can hit hard, @ the non-recommended 1 ohm, or go to 4 ohm, and not hit very hard at all. I can't afford a new amp right now, best thing i can do i suppose is to keep the gain down bass boost off until i either get another L5 or get a new amp. Just curious: how big of a sound difference would 1 ohm be compared to 4 ohms?

STEvil Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I ran my old ZX750.1 at 1.1 ohms hard enough to pop all 3 25 amp fuses almost daily. Put in 3 30 amp fuses and it worked fine, still works great. I only used it there for about 2-3 months though.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

Sanitarium Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 omg slay him teejay, he's done a no no! seriously though, watch your voltage, don't let it drop below 12, keep the signal clean coming in and going out, and run that sucker at 1 ohm every day from here on out.
