Incorrect. While that monoblock can run loads of 1 ohms it is not ideal/optimal. Ideal is 2 ohms and safe too.

It's FINE, lol. It's a decent match, relax.

BTW vinay, you are also one of the first people to have installed the new GT5 Bass Reflex Box. I know it looks hot.
Please give us a fair listening review.

Congratulations!

Don't forget to get a decent 4 channel amplifier for the speakers.
