Red face Confused, 3 subs and 1.33 ohms

If an amp had the following ratings:
500 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms mono
1000 watts x 1 @ 2 ohms mono
2000 watts x 1 @ 1 ohm mono
how would I find out how many watts it puts out into a 1.33 ohm load??? If that is impossible to find does anyone have an estimation on how many watts it would put out???? Thanks.

if u read that set of subs in parallel on a decent meter u r going to find that it is closer to 1 even though the calculations show other wise! so u can preaty much count on the 2k that the amp promises!!!!

that would be great. I guess there is only one way to find out.

I differ with Justin - once you load those 3 4ohm drivers into a box and load the box into a car, I would be surprised if the real load ever got as low as 2 ohms
