for only 1200 watts oi would imagine you would have better luck finding a amp that does 1k at 4Ω.

it would also be more efficient

I heard he actually graduated college with a 4.0 gpa. Seems pretty gangster.

he could blow a sub powering it with a potato.

if he's got the electrical and wants to stay cheap i'd do one of the hifonics brutus amps, not sure on the smallest one they make anymore, but i had the bxi1610 and ran it .5 daily for about 4 months and never had any issues with it at all. You could probably use an audiopipe as well

He's been looking into the Brutus 1700 to run at 2 ohms, I think he want something a little more efficient though

With that electrical? Just get a crescendo 2k and wire it at .5. Watch your gains

Set the gain conservatively with a DMM. You will be getting 100% clean power from the amp, which your subs will thank you for.

He doesn't want to run that much power, it'll be going on 2 obsidian 18's and he wants to play it safe a just run the rated power

Just because an amp is rated at a certain amount of power doesn't mean you have to utilize all of it. Just set the gains lower. If you have access to a dd-1 use the 0db option. (those obsidians will handle the power with ease)

Your friend wants to "play it safe" with running rated power but he wants .5 ohm?

Those Crescendo amps are a half ohm stable, as far as I'm concerned. They wouldn't sell a half ohm warranty if they didn't think their product could stand up to it :D

I ran my 3500 to a single sa-12 and didn't blow anything. It's all about where you set your gain ;)
