The higher the impeadance, the cleaner the output. When you load an amplifier down, it gets hot, and like most electronic equipment, the parts don't like to get hot.....it will still work, just not as efficient. I would recommend running the 1100 at 2 ohm to subs......but definately NOT for high end. I think the max output is 1460 watts.......but I could be wrong.

specify how certain an amount of certainty?
:-)
The fuse will limit the amplifier, achooally. Because the fuse will blow before the amplifier does. I'm not sure of the current limit on that amp, but I know that it certainly is high enough (considering the amplifier voltage, of course) to produce over 1600w, much less 2000w.
I'm sure there is the possibility that the power supply can't keep up with the output section, or vise versa, however, and one of these will cause the amplifier to fail at very high power. Also- At what point does the cross-sectional area of the board traces become the limiting factor?

Shadow, I have often asked myself the same question about the trace width on the PCB of an amp. Only mine was more centered around "how can they make the traces so fat, carry so much current, be so close together, with no insulator between them, and not have the occasional arc between the traces?" I would like an answer to the above questions, if anyone is game. I realize that at 12V, it would take quite a bit to induce an arc between the traces...

If it dont fit, force it... if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway...
