Can you run a ms 2125 at 1 ohm mono thanks

Why would you want to? that will generate tons of unnecessary heat for sure. can it be done.... probably.
You need cooling fans if you do this.

i would not try it. they are great amps but 1ohm mono is asking a lot. if you want to run @1ohm mono get a mps2500.

I have the pg fan shroud with three fans in it I'm just sick of all these kids around my part of town with all this crap they call power I just want to pound the groud for them but I don't want to let the smoke out of my amp thanks

If thats what you want to do (pound the ground)the 2125 will not get it done. it's an SQ amp in my mind. Most amps these days that are a quality company are putting out at least there rated power at 1ohm. we are talking in excess of 3k out of an amp thats rated 2500. heck my car is putting out over 3k RMS and i want to upgrade. keep the 2125 for your front stage and get a beast amp for some real subs and then you will be pounding the ground.

NO!!!!! NO!!!!!!! NO!!!!!

The most u will get out of a MS2125 is around 710Watts RMS @ 2 Ohms Mono!!! It doesn´t take long for an MS2125 to burn up on 1 Ohm mono! DO NOT TEST IT!!!

If u want a ton of power u´ll need an MS1000 for sure!

I partially agree with what Stryker said. First of all don't do itM. Secondly why do you need to? In the mid 90s I had my Frank Amp n Stein, same bass amp as what you have MS2125, running 3 ohm stereo to two 12W6s. It may not sound like much but in an Integra hatchback, in a custom fifth order box with JL ports firing into the glass it hit 146.8db at the glass with the sub gain all the way down! I had it tuned for sq and couldn't get to the gains without removing several cover panels, and I didn't really care to blow the subs to try for 150db. You could hear the car from about 5 minutes away in a quiet neighborhood. I let my friend drive the car once and felt the bass for about 3 to 4 minutes before he showed up, granted he was going 25 to 30 in a neighborhood and had stop signs. Lol.

I really think with the correct box and speakers you don't need to run below 3 ohm mono... And the amp is perfectly fine at that. I ran mine at 1.5 mono for a bit and it wasn't hardly any louder than at 3 ohm stereo... I think like 2 db. Not worth it imo to blow it up.

Yes, but I think that one is well guarded
