any amp can handle crazy low load as long as the volume is down... 1ohm on an aiwa with the volume cranked sounds crazy though...... LOL !

| if you play a bass test or somthing though at full volume it will turn off though. but regular music with the tbass or whatever its called turned off it runs for ever at 1 ohm... and does it loudly lol... the speakers have a harder time then the system itself lol. | |

| I just wouldn't advise anyone who doens't exactly know what they are doing to do what goes a little beyond the rated manuf specs. I don't want to see any e-drama when the guy comes back and starts whining that his receiver is fried. Shit happens.
Bottom line is, if you know what you are doing and aware of possible consequences, sure go ahead and connect a 1kw sub to a 25w channel on the home amp lol.
if you say that "the tbass or whatever its called turned off", this means that the amp is probably not really reaching a real 1ohm load.
btw what exact speaker have you connected for a 1o load?

| 2 10 inch dvc clif designs woofers, and 2 8 inch clif designs 8's so i guess this is more of a 1.5 ohm load. | |

Check the specs of the home receiver you are using to see what the minimum restance is that it can handle. If it's a minimum of 8 ohm (which most are) then DON'T connect those speakers. It may work for a while, but could fry your receiver. | Or use 2 speakers in series. | |

| Hook up the negative terminal of one speaker to the positive terminal of another speaker. Then use the remaining leads to connect to your amplifier. This will give you a combined load of 8 ohms (assuming you are using two 4 ohm speakers). | |
