No the lowest it can go is 1.5 ohm. Umm as for power not sure about 1.8ohms but it puts out 620+WRMS at 2 ohms. This amp will surprise you with all its cool features.. if controlled fast bass hits is what you are after.. this amp hooked up to a decent sub will deliver :D

thanks

will it be able to handle two earthquake magnum subs each coil is rated at 3.66ohms

two coils per sub

each sub requirs 500WRMS

Umm if they are rated at 3.66 they are basically 4 ohm coils. May i ask how are you going to wire them if they are DVC D-4 x2 to get a single 2 ohm load ( or 1.8 )? You will end up with a 1 ohm ( 0.8ohm ) or a 4 ohm (3.66 ohm) load for the two subs.

I think the subs would sound a lot better with one 500/1 per sub or hooked up to 1000/1 and giving that a 4ohm ( 3.66ohm ) load. Other than that i would get a Crossfire VR2000d ( $2500 :shock: but thats about the cost of 2x JL500/1) and hook it up with a 3.6ohm load for a little over 1100WRMS for the 2 subs.

Good choice in amp. I was almost tempted to buy one myself. But I decided not to spend even more $$$ on car stereo stuff.

The bloke at JB reckon i"d be able to get 700 and something Watt out of it. Someone else I knew seemed to think this would be about right. Apparently there are very underrated amps!

They also don't draw that much power considering!
