How is it people run at .5 ohm daily and demo all day at shows at without ruining their amps? A friend of mine messed up a couple well known amps running at .5 but I hear of people on here or see at shows or on youtube of people having no problem below 1ohm.

I don't know a competitor that runs over 1ohm ?!?

Shit you not.

True... I'm not big into competing though. I'm talkin about .5 daily cause that's kinda the position I put myself in cause my 4 18s are dual 4s. Idk after my friends experience running at .5ohm I'm nervous lol he has a singer 270, 2 runs of 0ga, a d3400 and a d7500 and his dc5k blew up. Maybe the gain setting?

No idea

If it was such a known amp, it should protect at low voltage and save you.

I dunno man. That said, people are down daily all the time. And go years with zero issues.

Dunno.

Go look how he ninja ran his 9k when he won state!?!!

I think it's in the amp gut thread. Wicks 9k gut shot.

Never a single problem running my Crunch GP3000 @ .25 daily, AB 750.1 @ .33 & .5 daily and my AB 500.1 @ .5 daily.

IMO running an amp above 1 ohm (or even .5) is a waste of money. It has protection circuits for a reason and 99% of the time they will engage when needed.

I guess if I make sure my electrical is good and gains are right I'll be good so I'll give it a shot. Thanks guys, btw, Kyle... Can't wait for you to get your amps! Sorry to hear about the set back with the build house
