Has this amp been tested at 8 ohms? Does anybody have any experience doing this?

If so what does it put out?

It has been tested to put out voltage and current with a conclusion that at 8ohm, it appears to be AC watts.

Whatever the 4ohm rating is, multiply it by 60% and that should be a pretty close figure to reality.

I assumed close to that, but figured I would check and see if anybody may have done this.

Perhaps this is a dumb question but why do you want to run it at 8 ohm?

That's a big amp that won't be putting out much power.

Im guessing why buy a new amp if you have one sitting around that will do the job.

I'm going to guess they underrated the 4ohm power a bit. At 1ohm & 2ohm it's rated at 59.16V output, but at 4ohm only 54.78V....usually the numbers go up a little instead of down as you increase impedance. If we assume 59.16V output you'd be looking at 438w @ 8ohm.....at 54.78V you'd be looking around 375w @ 8ohm. Not enough of a difference between those two voltages to matter audibly though, so it's sort of irrelevant. Meet in the middle and call it 400w

I am kicking around ideas. Maybe two dcon 10's in the winter months.

Thank you Brad.

Trying to leave some room in the truck?

Depending on weather and travel we may need the extra room. Come summer 18's all day long.
