The 1200.1 does more power @ 2 ohm so should I recalculate using 2 ohm? Does this make sense
It should be the same thing... Typically an amp doubles it's power every time the impedance cuts in half.
800 watts is a good guesstimate if your amp didn't come with the second birthsheet. Since Xe.load balances power output between 1-4 ohms, you want to set gains assuming 4 ohms instead of your actual subwoofer impedance (2 ohms).
Is this 800 watt rating at 4 ohms or 2 ohms? I know that the amp uses the Triple Darlington and it's supposed to carry the same wattage with various loads, but bench testing has shown an increase when going to 2 and 1 ohms. Is it that much of an increase I should worry about it?
Actually, with XeLoad amps are optimized to output highest power at 4 ohms, and have slightly less power at lower ohms.
If you're talking about the Xenon series, you do your calculation @ 4 ohms, regardless if your speakers are 1-4 ohms.
Yes...I do have the Xenon 600.1. Thanks for the info!!!

I see. I set mine up for 2 amps to my one sub and I was trying for around 920-950 watts per side and I forgot the numb r but I think it was around 61.03 volts ac per amp to attain the 920-950 watts to each side (being that each side is wired to a 4 ohm load)of this beast.
i remember you mentioned in my thread about this that I should try a 4 ohm load and I took your advice to be on the safe side. At first I thought it wouldnt produce the power I wanted but boy was I wrong.. tahks for the advice Stipud
and sorry for jacking this thread a little , Useful info regardless
I can tell I am runnign at least 1850 to this sub because the power alone is amazing compared to my previous 1600 watt amp
