Do you know what this amp runs RMS wise @ 1 ohm? I know it will run at 1 ohm stable. I was told that this was a perfect match for my subs.

i looked thay lied
600 Watts Continuous Power
400 Watts x 1, at 4 ohms <= 1% THD+N
600 Watts x 1, at 2 ohms <= 1% THD+N, at 100Hz
66 dBA Signal-to-Noise Ratio (Reference: 1 Watt Output)

NO IT DOES NOT RUN THAT LOW

While the amp may work at 1 ohm, it will go thermal on you and lead to dissappointment. Being the same amp as the older PRSD1000M, 1 ohm operation on it has proven to not be in it's best interest. Keep the subs and change the amp.

I just checked my specs and it will do 1 ohm 600W RMS in Hi Current mode, at 100 hz. What does this mean? It should work right? My manual says that it is stable at 1 ohm.

if you are going to do it get a set-up of fans for it that amp will get hot

at 100hz at 1oms can give you up to 600amp
or if it was your car (i can drive 160mph in 5th using full power of the car ) how think how long can you run a car like that (not a 911, YOUR CAR!)the amp will die faster or harm your subs then die

why try to use a R/R as a 911 ?
get an amp that works for what you are trying to do and not what i hope it will do
i like to get an amp bigger (more power)then i need and not trun my set up to full power

If you can take the amp back, do it. If not. Sure, run them at 4ohms. It won't hurt anything.

I'm just going to swap it out next time I'm in the city, it was a mistake on my part, plus the dude gave me 200 off of it because I bought the rest of my system there. I'll just stick with these guys.
