ohm load? and how do i do it? i have 3 dual voice coil subs in a box
2 ohm i think i know its at a 2 ohm final load though (it says so on the terminal on the back)
 
If you present a load less than 2 ohms, the over-current protection will shut the amp down.

Getting a 1 ohm load is not possible. If they are dual 4 ohm coils you can get 2.6 ohms or 0.6 ohms wiring in parallel. Your amp will last much longer if you wire for 2.6 ohms.

Dont do it. Its not 1 ohm stable for a reason. What impedance are your subs????

If you have three dual 4 ohm subs, you can wire them to 2.66 ohms, which will be FINE.

The amplifier is not 1 ohm stable it do fine at 2 ohm and i think that what the amplifier recommend it be, only way i would run it at 1 ohm is if i have alot of battery's and h.o alternator but that don't come cheap.
