Re: .5 ohm question

no .5 ohm is twice the load of 1 ohm, it may cut out on you or trip the protection circuit. You can always try it out and see.

Re: .5 ohm question

I'm not really into MTX. Best thing to do when matching amps and subs is know what you are looking for. Most class D amps are most efficient at 1 ohm, so if that's what you want to buy then look at a sub that is dual 2 ohm OR a pair of subs that are dual 4 ohm.
