Is i possible for 2- 2ohm dual voice coil subs to safley draw a 2 ohm load from a 1 ohm monoblock amplifier?

Question

questions sums it up Im contemplating buying 2- 2ohm dvc subs and a 2000 watt monoblock amp that is 1 ohm stable would that setup work and not destroy either subs or amp? Ive googles and yahooed it in a thousand different forms and all the information i can find is about 2ohm stable amps and 4 ohm systems

Answer 1

A 1 ohm stable amp can handle any impedance 1 ohm or higher.  So 2 ohms is fine, just not any lower than 1 ohm.  

The wattage will be given in the manufacturer's specs.  It will say XXXX watts RMS x 1 @ 2 ohms, or something like that.  The power would then be split between the two subs equally.

Good Luck!!

Answer 2

Well you can wire the subs to .5ohm, 2ohm or 8ohm. So you need to look for a amp that is rated at 2000W RMS at 2ohms, Assuming your subs are 1000 RMS each.

Really we need more information to answer this question.

Answer 3

It's fine to run a 1 ohm stable monoblock amp in a 2 ohm load if you want to.  Just be sure to match up the RMS ratings of the subs to the amp's RMS ratings at a 2 ohm load.
