Message:
hey guys, im picking up a Memphis ST1000D tomorrow. the week after im gonna pick up 2 kicker 12L7's.
should i get the 2ohm version and run them at 2 ohms? or should i get the 4ohm version and run them at 1omh (since the st1000d is stable at 1ohm)????????
the ST1000D puts out 600W rms at 2omh and 1100W rms at 1ohm

get the 4 ohm version. then you can parallel them down to 1 ohm and maximize the amp.
ps- great amp. I have it too

is there going to be a sound quality difference between 1 and 2 ohms?

What about cooling? Doesn't an amp run hotter when the ohms are lower?

That amp will stay cool at one ohm. and there is no sound difference between 1 and 2 ohms. well, the noise is a little higher, but by such a small degree you would never be able to tell, especially on subs.
That amp is MADE to be run at 1 ohm. just like most 2 channel A/B amps. say you have a 4 ohm SVC sub and you bridge the amp. that is basically the same as wiring your subs down to 1 ohm on this amp. It's maximizing the amp.
amps are rated for a certain minimum impedence on purpose. that is the lowest load that the amp can play ALL DAY long without overheating or blowing components while maximizing its potential.

I meant to say just like most A/B amps are able to run at 4 ohms mono.

How about running a four channel amp into a DVC sub? One channel per voice coil?
