well my friend with the shockers decided to see how high he could get his spl number, so he wired the sigs in parrellel for a .7ohm load per amp on his kx2500.1's, which is rated at 2ohms, LOL, but anyway he went to the stereo place and had it metered, with the new TL, i think cause he described the mic as lookin like a credit card, which is what the TL looks like i think, anyway they stuck the mic right under neath of his dash, on the drives side, and he hit 154.3, but when he did this the amp went into protect mode, then he wired it back to series, for a 2.4ohm load and the amp worked fine, but he says now that the amp keeps going into protect, but if he turns the volume down it comes right back on, so hes gonna try and call kicker to see if he can get some new amps.

actually, depending on your box rise....wiring that amp to .7ohm is pretty common in SPL comps.

i know a few people running '1ohm stable' amps at .175ohm for comps (burping)

if you know what you are doing...you can wire amps WAY below what they are rated for. you just have to take into account your reactive load.

well there in a mustang with the rear deck removed, and the ports fireing up, ohh their in SS boxes, so i think thats why its in the 150db mark, im not sure if he wants to sell the amp, i'll see if i can get ahold of him tommarrow.

"he didn't realize that amp cost more than 600$, "what a little toy to play" where are you finding that amp for $600, the cheapest i've seen them is around $800.

well i talked to him today, and he told he got ahold of kicker and made up some stpuid azz story about how the amps have been doing it for a long time, and other bs, and kicker said to send them in, and they would look at them, so he said he doesn't want to sell them if kicker will repair them.
