The factory has a adjustment they set on this amp that limits it max power to about 1400 watts I was told by Roland I think. Just look at the bottom of the amp there is a little seal covering the adjustment.
I recommend you do not tamper with it as it will most likely lead to premature failure of the amp, oh I have two of these also...hope this helps...C

Nope that should be the MAX you will see at 2 ohms. These amps live longer at 4 ohms, although at a lower output. They will see less high current draw which can tend to fail the outputs. That is why I own two, I never wanted to run mine lower then 4 ohms to keep them alive longer... Tripath is long gone so if it fails there may be no salvation for the amp as the main big chip inside is no longer available even from PG.. Just a FYI for your listening happiness....C
I recommend running it at 4 ohms ...depending on how you slam the drivers the lower power should be barely noticeable. I.E. it will be loud enough to drive you crazy even at 4 ohms, and the amp will live longer and draw less power off your charging system... but this is my opinion based of few of the failures I have seen... The amp likes 4 ohms... best of luck mate !leeroy wrote:thanks again. i am planning to run 2 12'' kicker L7 solobarics with it, would you recommend i get the dual 4ohm coil version then?

You said it spot on!!!stipud wrote:Yeah, they work MUCH better at 4 ohms. At 2 ohms it only makes them run much hotter and stresses the componentry, without offering any noticeable power increases.
Definitely get two dual 4 ohms and wire it to a 4 ohm final load!
I think mine put out more power at 4 ohms and sounded better.

Not that i know of, I wouldnt ever run 3 svc subs but i ran 2 svc subs with mine at 2 ohms for about 6mths and this amp did put out a lot of power and did heat up a bit but i have it running at 4 ohm pushing 2 dvc subs now and it stays lots cooler.ferrariboy150 wrote:i cant do anything about it if i have two svc subs or three subs can I? to run my amp at 4 ohms
