I think that's max power. I don't think you'd get close to that kind of power from that amp anyways, especially for that price. Save up dude, buy something you know is going to work and do what you need it to do.

I think there is one pretty close to what you're looking for in the classifieds on this site, or you could aim for two smaller amps that do 1000 at 1 ohm and are strappable, giving you 2000 at 2 ohms, just in case you can't find what you need at 2 ohms without getting a huge amp, but still I say you save up and buy what you need. Its tough, but it can be done.

ya... you'll be lucky to get 800rms @ 2ohms from that amp... Running @ 1ohm daily is asking for trouble and you would see like 1200-1400rms at the very best...

I'd take fresh1's advice and keep looking....

I'm sure ILS means something obvious, but care to enlighten me on what it stands for Dukk?

I'd suggest a Soundigital amp because they're the best.
