Posted September 17, 200816 yr Hey, I always wondered if my amp would run at this load so today i loaded it down to see ifit would go to proctect mode or get hot. To my surprise it seemed to run it well. What could be some consequences of this that may not be obvious? Clipping? Damaged VC's? Damaged amp or would the fuses blow first? It a one ohm stable D class amp.Thankss Edited September 17, 200816 yr by Im Hung N ur Not
September 17, 200816 yr it might be fine if the impedance rise caused by the box is high than a .67 static load won't be a problem.your best bet is to just watch it very carefully, to see if it gets hot.now with the lower than designed ohm load comes some negatives.your amp will put out a higher distortion level, it will be easier to clip your amp, and of course if it gets hot enough it could shorten the amps life.now if the slightly louder output is worth those ^^ risk? well thats up to you.
September 17, 200816 yr well, if you fry that mm1000 let me know. i have a pair of mm1400 that id like to get rid of
September 17, 200816 yr Author well, if you fry that mm1000 let me know. i have a pair of mm1400 that id like to get rid ofdid you like them? as far as sound and power..i haven't had many amps at all and i want you're opinion since you've definitely had more experience with amps than i have. I've been lookin for one.. how much for one? or are you sellin them as a pair?
September 18, 200816 yr as far as power goes, they put out pretty well. they sounded like bass to me. never had a problem pushing my Q 18 with one of them. or my IDMAXs. i was impressed by these amps, but theyve been sitting idle for a while now so its time to move on. ive got one promised to a friend. the other ill let go for 200 plus shipping
September 18, 200816 yr where is gville LA? ill be in new orleans tomorrow if you want to meet up and save on shipping
