Hi all, I got a problem here i wanna install my sub kicker solobaric L5 and i have 2 units of it.It is dual 4ohm and its 600 rms each. The amp i have is also kicker model KX600.1.I know the amp is stable at 2ohm and runs 600rms on it. Is it possible to do it on 1 ohm? Is it stable and what is the side effect of it? How to i know how much ohm the installer wire it down? Any forumers try doing this before or has the same spec as me? 1 of the pic there writen max power output is 730 watts, what this mean? Hope u all can help me cause im really lost...thanks in advance. Attached thumbnail(s)

Go to googles and check the spec of your amp. I don't think your amp is stable down to 1 ohm.

Actually i already checked all the infos i get is 300rms at 4ohm than 600rms at 2ohm none of it got write 1ohm...so is it possible to do so without any trouble and stable??

Unless you're goin for any sound-challenge competition, not many ppl go below 2ohm for everyday use you may 'Panggang' your amp sooner than later with 1ohm prolong use.

BTW, i'm from KK too, mind to get out and audit each other's car?  can PM me anytime, Merdeka Parade.
