What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load

1. Get a Class D amp.
2. Find some Kappa 9’s.
3. Set the the switch in the rear to Extended.
4. Crank up the music.
5. The Class D amp that doesn’t shut down will drive a 2 ohm load.

I can say this after completion of the above five steps,
This is gonna be one very short list of Class D amps

Crude way, but effective.
Better to just see how they behave in tests not understated into 8,4, and 2ohm and see if they can do "close" to the doubling act for each halving of the impedance.

My answer to the posted question,
Stay away from Class D amps to drive low impedance speakers.

Excellent advice.

Many manufacturers just under specify the 8ohm rating to allow their product to be in spec for the lower loads.

Yes this must be observed, as many "cheat" by understanding the 8ohm or the 4ohm watts, just so the 2ohm look better.


If all above is not taken on board, just buy a 3000!watt Class-D for just $400 and see how you go.

@georgehifi  As a matter of fact, I have heard that Behringer, slightly modded to improve the sound, and it's not a bad device. Compared to the usual hi-end device, it sounds harsh and with a bit limited extension at both ends (or so it sounded), but it has driving power aplenty.

I have heard that Behringer,
but it has driving power aplenty.

Was that with speakers like the OP has that are 2ohms and less for nearly all the bass.

BTW that 3000w Behringer Class-D can be got now for $299!! at Parts Express now, with free!!! shipping.

Holy moly, 3000w for $299?
That amp blows away the puny watts in my stable.
What was I thinking!

Wait a second.................

That’s right, it doesn’t matter how many watts you have, if you don’t have the current to back it up all the way down into 2ohms and less, with speakers like the OP has in the bass, you got s**t.
Like I said the "puny" 25w Mark Levinson ML2 monoblocks will slay them "to a given volume level"
