it would be dumb as hell. u have a stock electrical, youll lose efficiency dropping to .5 and you dont have the electrical to keep it from frying

what about .5ohm on a kicker zx2500.1, i might use it for comps if i like the outcome of the install. Amp will be running 2ohm daily tho.

Dude.Weren't you teling us you were having problems with your amp heating up already?Why would you want to run it at an even lower ohm load,that wouldn't be smart at all.

im not going to run at .5ohm yet, im finding out if the amp was modded or if it has a problem first and getting it fixed. Ill run it at 2ohm if its not good at .5ohm but i just thought id ask.
