Is it 1Ohm stable?

[bassinblazer]

Hey guys, just wanted to ask a quick question. I have to wait to get my amp, and until then I am running a cheap amp I had lying around. It is a Lanzar Vibe 286. It is rated at like 1000RMS or something like that but is actually putting out clean maybe 600 at most. I have it hooked up to my RF T1d112 sub and it bumps pretty good. My question is, if I wire it to a 1 ohm load instead of 4 ohms, is it going to kill my amp? I have never run it at 1 ohm, and no where on any documentation for the amp have I seen it say it is 1 ohm stable. I don't want to kill it thus ruining the bump that I do have until I get my rockford T500-1, but it could be much louder with this amp in the meantime if it would be wired to 1 ohm. It is in a sealed 1.25 cube box, and putting the sub in a ported box would also make it louder, but I like tight bass, so this works for now. Any ideas?

It says 2 ohm stable.

it looks like it is not 1 ohm stable.

Just run it 2 ohm stereo if its this amp, or 4 ohm bridged like your are.

It is running 4 ohm bridged, and it isn't even 2 ohm stable bridged...kind of sucks...can't wait to get my t500-1 for this thing..This sub actually bumps real nice. I just don't want to ruin it by sending a garbage signal to it from the amp...It isn't a very good amp at all...Already killed like 2 sets of subs with it because if you are not super careful with the gain knob the signal will clip pretty quickly...Thanks for the info guys. Question answered!

Ported boxes can't have "tight punchy bass"??
