Just acquired this amp from a buddy of mine along with a 360.6 and am going to use these two to replace my Kicker KX700.5.

My question is - I could have sworn that this amp was good bridged into a 2 ohm load, and have found a few people saying that on google. But when you goto the documentation it says bridged can only go into a 4 ohm load.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

But I've used several amps with 2 ohm loads that were only rated to handle 4 ohm loads and none of them have ever gone into protection mode. As long as you give the amp adequate ventilation and don't drive it into distortion, it should work fine.

that era rockford power series amp was not 1 ohm stable. using it that way will eventually destroy the amp. rockford knows about their amps

I'm not trying to put a 1 ohm load on it

Thanks!

Because of the way an amp is bridged, 2 ohms mono is the equivalent of a 1 ohm stereo load.

If it gets so hot that you can't put your hand on it for a few seconds, don't continue to use it that way beacuse it will die after repeated use in those conditions.

Thanks guys - it gets very hot. I'm just going to leave the sub on one channel
