They make a 1000 watt model.

This

If you think you need more power get the 1000BDCP and run it at the ohm it's suppose to be ran at

I'm running a RF T2500BDCP @ 2 ohm on 1 XL 18" and it slams it, much louder then my AQ2200D when I had it at .5ohm

The cp amps don't make the same across all loads they just make rated power across 2 and 1 ohms in my case 500 but actual power is 483@ 4 608@2 817@1 and ???@ .5 I'm hoping someone whom has tried this will shed some light I would think rockford quality components in their power series amps would easily handle the low impedance

i bet they are designed so well that they have a protection against low impedance :peepwall:

maybe, maybe not.

anyways, you dont want to run your amp at .5ohm. lately everyone thinks you need to run below 1ohm and get over 150db or else your system sucks. I dont get it. .5ohm should scare you, not seem like something normal. it should be left to those who feel it is worth blowing up their amp for a higher score. otherwise ill bet someone like you will bitch about how your amp blew up and its RF's fault for not making their amps good enough. then go on a rant about how the company sucks. we see that here every so often.

if you want more power, buy a bigger amp. dont run under rated until you know what you are doing.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

What is different that lets some other amplifiers drive such low impedance loads?

Get a bigger amp if you need more power.PERIOD!!!Doesn't matter what makes other amps run lower.You don't have the other amplifiers you have a RF so run it the way it tells you too or get a new one.

you should probably do a lot of research and learn more about the hobby before you even think about attempting running below rated impedence.
