  1. 1. Do you run below rated impedance? Assuming at least ok electrical.

    • Daily.
      13
    • Burps only.
      6
    • Only on sub amps.
      10
    • If sub amps, Never below .5
      9
    • If sub amps, Lower than .5 but burps only
      4
    • If sub amps, Lower than .5 daily.

If you got money coming out of your ass and don't mind beating the living shit out of your equipment then drop it low. This is why I won't buy a used amp off just anyone. My opinion on it is if you compete and every 10th matters then you do what you can. If it's daily then your just wearing on your equipment faster than needed.

Myth :) just sayin

So your telling me your not lowering the life of an amplifier by running it so low? No harm of any kind? Not even a risk? Eh say what you want. I don't buy it. Your a competitor so do what you gotta do. I'm going to take care of my shit.

Show me the proof that it does and I will show you the proof that it doesn't. In the lanes, I run my equipment harder in 3 minutes then you ever will in your whole life. I have my proof do you have yours?

I ran my Nendo 3k at .7 and also at .35 ( for like 2 weeks- BAD voltage drop ). Now back at .7 on a BC3500 and no issues. Electrical is good

I stay at rated ohm loads cause I can't afford to be buying new amps and I hate being without bass while something gets sent in for repair.

I'm pretty sure(almost positive) that he doesn't see even a volt of voltage drop with his Supercap bank. If you can SUPPLY the voltage, you can do what he does.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

My proof is amp manufacturers won't take an amp back that is damaged from running below rated impedance.

You do know what transistor lifetime depends on right? :s
