Rcabrera11 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I just purchased a dd1 to set my bass amp with. My question is does subwoofer impedance matter or affect when your amp is going to distort? Like would it matter if your running at .5 ohms or 1?

Rcabrera11 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I know the speaker has to be unplugged but that's what I'm worried about. when I plug my speakers back in and drop them to the .5 ohm load is the amp going to be distorted because it's at its limits at .5 ohms?

mothra Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 even if your amp did create a dirty signal at .5 ohms compared to 1 ohm, you can't get rid of that. that's an amp issue. the DD1 is helping you get the gain matched to the signal output from your source with overlap if desired.
