Can i run my amp at 1 ohm for comps?


Recommended Posts

I have a ZX1500.1 (kicker) amp. It does 1500rms @ 2 ohms and is not rated at 1 ohm.. thing is I have a 15" fi BL that is a D2 and 4ohms will not be enough at comps. So would it be safe to burp it at 1 Ohm?

i am not a kicker guy but i hear they dont like 1ohm. could be wrong, just what i heard.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

I have heard similar, i have had a buddy try to see if he could get a kicker amp to 1ohm, fried it instantly

take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey

yea i had a freind locally that used to drop his down for burps like that. He did good and the amp didnt break until he did a demo.... He forgot to put it back im assuming and demoed it for about 30 sec maybe less and bye bye amp lol. So just be careful.
