My Newb Question

[Tek]

All angry responses will be accepted because I acknowledge that this is a somewhat of a newb question.

Is it okay to use a 1-ohm amp on subs that are at 1.3 ohms?

Yes you can but you won't get the power the amplifier is rated to give out at 1 ohm and impedance rise will rise it moar??

Basic Amp Tips:

Get a good amplifier.

Never use bass boost.

Match your gain to your headunit's pre-out voltage (just because gain is at half doesn't mean it's at half volume unless your preout is really 0.2v or something.

Use good power cables.

I should add that I am using dual 4 ohm woofers

dont worry about it bro. 1.3 ohms will be fine. with box rise your probably gonna let the amp see like 3-4 ohms anyways

so a 1 ohm amp is a-okay?

Buddy, can you read the posts?

x2. anyways, just because you have subs wired to 1 ohm on a 1 ohm stable amp, those subs will BARELY ever (99.999% of the time) ever reach 1 ohm. it will always be higher.
