So... i got bored and played around with an old amp i have... (ITS a POS) but its only 2ohm stable and 4ohm bridged... but anyways i connected a 1ohm load to it bridged and it was working for about 5 minutes before it got extremely hot and i turned it off, it still works fine, and i didnt really care if it did break.. the amp is like a 50$ amp lol. but is it possible for an amp to like instantly burn out from a ohm load that is to low for it... like .5ohm on a 1ohm styable mono
I have ran my Kicker sx1250.1 on a .5 ohm load for a real long time actually, never got really hot either. I guess it depends if it is a quality amp or not. Polo..
theoretically, if you run an amp 1/2 ohm load down, like if you had a 1000 watt amp @ 2 ohms, and you ran it at ohm, it will prolly put out around 1700 + @ 1 ohm. But the dangers of this is EXTREMELY high, becaue you have to remember that the amp isnt made for that low of an impedence.
amps like kicker i have seen ran at .5 ohm loads for months at a time, and still dont even get very hott
and yes, you can fry your amp to SH!T if you run it at too low of n impedence, the capaictors and the mosfets inside will burn and ur amp wont work.
is kicker a cooler running amp then a earthquake? i had one running at 1 ohm and it was too hot, i had a friend with a kicker 1600.1 amp and it never got hot either.. but could it like instantly burn out when you turn it on with to low of a imdependance
you will see smoke in a few minutes, not instantly jeje, an yeah kicker is better bc of the quality. I ran one legacy for experiment at 1 ohm, the thing lasted like 10 days and i was like WOW THIS THING doesn't blows jajaja, guess i was dreaming lol!
do u think if u were to cool it down would it last longer.....LIke if u plumbed nitrous into it....that wouldnt be to much either 40$ for a refill a small bottle, lines, there u go....comps all day whut do u think
got my audioburns running 3.6 ohm on the PA 1920 amp bridged.. sounds decent for crappy sh!t i guess.. amp getting super hot... hook me up with some nitrous haha.. sh!t get hot and melt your tubes..and BOOM!!!! really get a explosion from your system haha
