Only if your amp is rated to handle a 1 ohm load. If it's not you WILL... fry your amp.

I HAVE A crunch 1000.1 AMP THAT im trying to push 1 punch p3 15 subwoofer how do i wire it?

If youre running a single woofer get the dual 2 ohm woofer. Wire them parallel, which will bring it down to 1 ohm when you put it on the amp. 1 ohm will pull the most power from the amp


I have a 2 channel nitro amp 2000watts amp and it always gets hot after 10min. it's been hooked it up to several cars and it's the only amp that gives trouble every other amp works fine?

If it's running so hot you can't touch it, in most cases it will be due to either the way the speakers are hooked up or the impedence of the speakers. You can incresse the resistance to the amp to have it run cooler by connecting speakers in series or getting speakers with a higher ohm rating. The lower the resistance (2 ohm, 4 ohm, 8 ohm) the more current flows though the amp making it hotter. Remember if you hook multiple speakers in parallel it will cut the resistance in half. So if you connect speakers that are 4 ohm to the same channel you are running at 2 ohm. Check your amp's ratings.

Will 8 ohm sub woofers work with a 4 ohm amp?

if you put 2, 8 ohm speakers together on the same channel you will trick the amp into seeing a 4 ohm load, it is not advisable to run a 8 ohm coiled speaker on a 4 ohm amp unless you do the above. So if you want to run 2 8 ohm speakers from a 4 ohm amp this will work the best although the amp will need to be hefty as its worse to underpower a sub than overpower it! I have used a 8 ohm speaker myself on a car amp and had no problems but it was not a cheap entry level amp! some amps will take it, others will get hot and enter protection mode. Hope this helps!!!


What size amp do i need for two 10 inch kicker comp's?

You could go with a 600 watt 2 ch amp or a 300 watt mono block amp, depends on what OHM the subs are, if they are 8 ohm you could wire them down to 4 ohm or if they 4 ohm u could wire them to 2 ohm, i have a 600.1 Boss amp and subs are wired together at 2 ohm and they BANG.


Can you overload a channel on a amp?

Yes you can burn a channel on an amp. Which is do to a overload. Like a 2 ohm load on an amp that is not 2 ohm stable. Will burn out a channel or both channels.

Your Amplifier for your 600 watt sub is cutting out The peak in the amp is 600 watts How do you get it to stop cutting out?

you ohm load is too low. raise the ohm load or buy an amp that is stable at the ohm level of the sub.


What is one ohm equivalent too?

One ohm is equivalent to one volt per amp.


Are kicker L7s good speakers and what kind of amp do I need to power 2-15 inch subs?

Yes, the L-7s are great. For the amp, you first need to find out whether the sub woofers are 2-ohm, 4-ohm, or 8-ohm. Depending on the answer to that question will determine whether or not you'll need a mono amp or a dual channel amp as well as the wattage.
