!!! Not sure how long it will last like this. Its currently pushing four 4 ohm coils in parallel, in an IB sub install.

Why did you even attempt it if you know the potential outcome?

Just for the heck of it... Since I'm going to replace the OEM-amp anyways in the near future. I am "donating" my factory amp as the sacrificial lamb to this experiment... If nothing else, I will be able to proove/deny how well over-built the OEM sub-amp is. Crazy?.. Yes. Stupid... Yes. But heck, I'm willing to take one for the Lexus ES team on this forum.

I know people who plug their subs into the light socket and pump them with 110V-60Hz AC.... So IMHO this is nothing.

I'll post my results here.... With the hot summer months ahead, this will be a real test.
