Howell thats not a good idea running that low. Your lucky its even working at all. If your specs are right then its a 2 channel amp. And the subs are 2 ohm DVC. You need to wire each sub for a 1ohm load. Then hook each sub to its own channel. Because if you keep running the amp that low you are going to burn it up. Heres a link to help with wiring. Good Luck

unless the amp is rated for half ohm stability, don't run at that load. |
