I have a P1000-1bd 1000 Watt Class-bd Mono Amplifier and (2)P3D412
12" Punch P3 4-Ohm DVC Subwoofer
The amp is rated @ 1000x1 @ 1ohm
The subs are 1 ohm stable. can I run these subs @ 1ohm? They are 500rms and running the amp to these subs at 1ohm will produce 1000x1rms. Does this mean each speaker gets 1000rms or do they both split to get 500rms? I was told that although they will run @ 1 ohm that I should not run them at 1ohm because I could risk damaging the speakers and blowing them. Is this true?
P1000-1bd :
250W x 1 @ 4-Ohms RMS
500W x 1 @ 2-Ohms RMS
1000W x 1 @ 1-Ohm RMS
Speakers are:
Power Handling 500 Watts RMS
1000 Watts Max
Impedance 4-Ohm x 2 <--I DONT KNOW THAT THIS MEANS)
Please help because right now I think I am running them only @ 4ohms and only getting 250rms (which im sure is not enough) according to the calculator. (i heard that under powering them could cause speaker damage as well)
