It is a CFA-1000D and I wanted to know if it would handle a 0.75 ohms?

I posted a reply in amplifier section, but thought I would expand a little.

The limiting factor to do this isn't the actual ability of the amp to run the load, its the ability of the amps power supply to deliver the power to the outputs, without creating an overcurrent situation,and losing some transistors...

To do this safely you need to make sure your amp sees no lower than 13.5 volts at max draw in that setup... Any lower and you risk losing the power supply.
