I need a good amp (prefer kicker, rockford, maby even sony) that is truly 1 ohm stable for a (1)kicker l5 wired in parallel (for 1 ohm load) and I would also like it to be "around" 750 wrms. Correct if wrong: the lower the ohms the higher the spl? Right (with correct enclosure? I'm all about feeling the bass (more than hearing and I want my testicles to tingle in my seat lol.
this is an incorrect statement. The lower the impedance the more power an amp will provide to a given load...but this does NOT translate into higher SPL's... Generally speaking...ya maybe. it might.... But NOT ALL amps will provide the power to the lower impedances at greater wattage levels. Some amps use regulated power supplies which limits the amopunt of power the kick out... If you want your nads to tingle, I can give you the phone number to my ex...LOL!
And that # is??? Jk. Ok I was told wrong then about the spl deal. I just want the best power out of my sub with out damaging the sub or amp. I currently have a sony xplod 1000 wat max (under rated if u ask me) stable at 2 ohm's but I'm just wanting the most out of my sub. 8ohm 4 ohm 2 ohm 1 ohm .5 ohm even I just want what I payed for and that's bass!
This is possibly technically correct, assuming the amplifier produces more power at the lower impedance, the SPL would increase due to the higher power, but not significantly. Doubling power produces an SPL increase of only about 3dB, which is barely detectable by the human ear. You will, however, increase the strain on the amplifier, resulting in more heat, shorter component life, higher distortion, reduced damping factor, and lower headroom. Does this sound like a good trade-off for an SPL increase you'll barely notice? Not in my book. Memphis Audio MC-Series amps are rated 1-Ohm stable, but instead of getting an amp that produces 700 watts at 1 Ohm, it's better to run at 4 Ohms on an amp that gets 700 watts at 4 Ohms.
