I have a dual 2 ohm sub
I first hooked it up at one ohm, it's supposed to be one ohm stable.
Nothing, ok, that's weird, then hooked it up at 4 ohm, again, nothing....ok...wtf?
Then on one coil at 2 ohms....guess what nothing again?
Explain how I could've blown the amp when right afterwards I tired the same thing with 2 kenwood amps (minues the one ohm) and it worked perfectly.

What to lock the thread? Can't admit you sold me a bad amp?
It's nice to know there's people like that on this board.

Hey, if you guys have a problem with a purchase / deal, take it offline. Wade was kind enough to provide that feature, also for free.

Dave, when will you have the 3rd CAE unit hooked up? I"m kind of curious about a "big amp".

If someone has something really big they need tested, I have some connections that will allow me to test almost anything, but the problem with that is trying to schedule it all. Spare time is scarce these days.

I'm working on making a few changes to me 'schedule' in the next little while that will both allow, and possibly necessitate me requiring some additional spending money.

Once it's all hammered out, I'll let you all know.

I'm just curious as to how much power the avg. 1000BD puts out at 1 ohm.... I know its not rated to do this, although I have been running mine at 1 ohm for quite awhile with out many heat issues! Does the power change at this low of an impedance on this amp? I would start a new thread, but since the topic was brought up, I figured I may as well try here!
