SnowDrifter Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Pretty much any of the monoblock VFL series amplifiers made by american bass All of the DC amps should be able to do it too. Rockford fosgate t15k(lol), AudioQue, Digital Designs, etc aren't technically .5 ohm stable, but if you have the electrical to back it up - you should be fine How high output of an alt are you getting? What batteries? Unless you know what you are doing and have experience with limit pushing, just wire it up to 2 ohms and get an amp that can push the power you want at that. Much easier on electrical, less likely to release the mysterious blue smoke. If you are really insistent on wiring it to .5 - just get a 1 ohm stable amp by any *good* manufacturer and you should be fine. The amp will seldom if ever see below 1 ohm anyway after box rise (but that's completely dependent on your box and vehicle) ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team_DC-Derrick Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 save the money, if you can only wire to .5 or 2, get a amp that does the same power at 2 ohms, you will be thankful you did... wiring to .5 can cause so many issues, and alot of bad stuff...

SnowDrifter Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 well im planning on ordering a 270 amp alt and i have a yellow top in front and im gunna get a kintetik 2400 i got a fi btl 18 right now.. I would ditch the yellow top and get a 'real' under the hood battery. Speaking from experience, they leech the life out of a good battery like the kinetik (resting voltage is at 12.4 vs almost 13 for kinetik). Have you considered XS power? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9515ROB Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 any of the american bass vfl amps but the 1000.1(unless you really know what your doing) Stetsom Sundown DD AQ cactus dc crecendo RD and there are alot more i just cant think of them You can run most good amps at .5 daily as long as you know what your doing and have the electrical system to back it up. I would try to stay away from amps that are internally strapped because most of them are 2 ohm amps and you are getting a little ballzy running them at .5 daily - 1998 Ford Mustang - Time to rebuild. 4 15s and alot of power TEAM DTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump4life Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 i have had success running 2 d2 coiled alpine type rs and digital designs 2510s (different times) off of an AQ1200d and a DD M1C currently. I have big 3, 100 amp hour bat, and just a stock alt but voltage never below 12.7. I have had no problems running daily. But my success could easily be your failure. It really is different amongst setup. Too many variable to say wether youll be ok or not. Just get a good amp like stated abovve. Americn base, DD (personal fav), AQ, DC, etc. And you (should) be ok. no guarantees. amps arent warrantied under 1 ohm. only bad thing to consider.

kr15 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 if you decide on 2ohm power, something like a kicker zx2500d would do the trick. As far as .5 stable, not many amps are warrantied that low, so few are techinically "stable", but there are plenty that will do it with no problems if you are a conscientious user Team Flex Issues Low tuning > God 2011 CALI AS1 STATE CHAMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
