Posted November 27, 201212 yr I have an AQX 3500 (loving it, stays pretty cool and no fires lol) but i was wondering if this amplifier would be ok at that low of an impedance if i had a proper electrical to support it and no bass boost.Thanks.
November 27, 201212 yr Simply put I'd say no. If you just want to burp at .25 I'd say MAYBE depending on your rise at whatever frequency you burp at.
November 27, 201212 yr Author it rises to 2.4-2.7 ish when wired to one ohm Edited November 27, 201212 yr by Mtxplod
November 27, 201212 yr it rises to 2.4-2.7 ish when wired to one ohmAre you wanting to run it at .25 all of the time?
November 27, 201212 yr Author it rises to 2.4-2.7 ish when wired to one ohmAre you wanting to run it at .25 all of the time? yes, but that doesnt mean full tilt entire play time, id only run her 10 to 15 minutes at a day maximum at a "satisfying" output. and some days with very little output.

November 27, 201212 yr okay then, thanks a lot for the input!Also for what it's worth the audible difference would be minimal if you can even hear it.
November 27, 201212 yr Author okay then, thanks a lot for the input!Also for what it's worth the audible difference would be minimal if you can even hear it.Is that because my efficiency would go out the window?
November 27, 201212 yr okay then, thanks a lot for the input!Also for what it's worth the audible difference would be minimal if you can even hear it.Is that because my efficiency would go out the window?The gain in power would not be enough to make it worthwhile. Theoretically you have to double power to see a 3db gain. (this is in a perfect world) It takes a 3db gain for it to be audibly louder, so if you put all of that together it just isn't worth it.
