1 Ohm Stable Amplifiers. The first is 1 ohm stability. These are amplifers that have been rated to supply power all the way down at 1 ohm (or sometimes lower!). The easiest way to tell if an amplifier is 1 ohm stable is to look at the manufactuer's specifications.
Is a 1 ohm amp good?
At 1 ohm, you will get more power output from your amplifier and your subwoofers will play louder than if you wired them to a 2 ohm load. You can also save some money by wiring your subwoofers to a 1 ohm load.
Can a 1 ohm stable amp run at 2 ohms?
At 1 ohm, you will get more power output from your amplifier and your subwoofers will play louder than if you wired them to a 2 ohm load. Let's say you have a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer that can handle 500 watts. You could run a P500x1bd at 1 ohm, or you could run a P1000x1bd at 2 ohms.
What hits harder 1ohm or 4ohm?
A 1 Ohm or 4 Ohm load, or do they sound the same. considering everything is matched up. resistance doesn't affect sound quality. Like Blaine said, 4 ohms is better, but usually not enough to justify 4 ohm over 1 ohm for most people.15 Feb 2006
What does it mean when an amp is 1 ohm stable?
if a well designed amplifier is "1 ohm stable" that means it will run 1 ohm all day long. the reality of it is that amplifier is more then likely 1/2 ohm capable, but not recommended. so 1 ohm is just fine. as long as you stay in the range that the manufacturer specifies you are good.26 Oct 2011
Can a 2ohm stable amp handle 1 ohm?
2 Ohm Stable Amplifiers. These are mono amplifiers that have NOT been rated down to 1 ohm stability and need to be outputting at 2 ohms or higher.
What hits harder 1ohm or 2ohm?
The case for 1 Ohm: At 1 ohm, you will get more power output from your amplifier and your subwoofers will play louder than if you wired them to a 2 ohm load.
What happens if an amp isn't 1 ohm stable?
