yeah, i believe thats true. either way, my subs are wired at 4 ohms now til i pick up another amp and run one for each sub. 1 ohm wiring is wayy too finicky

 

It is not finicky at all. I suspect that you have a bad ground. A bad ground return to the battery when the amp is starting to pull large amounts of current is going to manifest itself in different ways. Get your grounding looked into, get one good solid amp and go from there. You have no need at all to go to two amps when ideally what you should be doing is finding and solving the problem.

 

makes alot of sense, and i looked into getting a capacitor, just need to get it hooked up

 

I'd say Rob is right, and whoever said 1 ohm is too low for daily is wrong. I ran an 8102 for 3 years at 1.33 ohms with no problems except overheat, but then I put a fan in it and it worked fine, including competitions last season with nothing more than an old Motomaster battery and then a Toyota battery and some Stinger 8 gauge. I had a cap in there but ripped it out in the middle of a show and gained .5 db, don't ask me how, but it happened.

 

agreed, you need a better amp sir

 

I actually have an old issue of Car Audio & Electronics with a revie of that amp. The tested it at slightly over 500 watts at 4 ohms, and slightly over 600 watts at 2 ohms. I've also owned one of these amps. With little to no voltage drop these amps will still distort fairly easily. Personally, I would not reccomend going any lower than 4 ohms with these amps.
