Can a sub wired down to 1ohm wreck amp that can not go down to 1ohm?

Question

have a kenwood KAC-8104D and the lowest the ohm ratting on the amp is 2ohm's stable and i am running 2 12" JVC GS-1200 350RMS DVC 4 ohm's. will this wreck the amp over time or should i rewire the subs straight away???

Answer 1

Depends on how tight the protection circuitry is, in that model amplifier, just go ahead and change it to be on the safe side.

Answer 2

IT WONT  wreck the amp it'll just keep clipping and will burn the amp fuse-out    just re-wire the sub,,,

Answer 3

Yes you need to rewire the subs,if you don't it will burn the amp up.

Answer 4

It could burn the fuse.. But there is very high chance of it burning the amp up too

Answer 5

your amp would overheat and shut off(or go into safe mode). i've done it with mien and I ended up rewiring the subs.
