[QUOTE="TStone, post: 1682703, member: 625022"] yes it is stable @ 2 ohms x 1 channel. However note the amp is rated at 14.4 volts DC . The over all power output will drop dramatically at lower voltages . Also note most car stock alternators can not handle a 60 load added draw. It will shorten the life of the alternator and possible cause spikes in the system .They can affect other parts of the cars electrical system like the ecm module and on board computers. They need a constant 12.4 to 14.4 volt input to operate properly. You really need to upgrade the alternator to get the rated output of this amp.
