[sundown zv5 12 wiring]

As far as i am aware you can't wire two Zv5 D1 down to .5 ohms.

You need the D2 but why do you want to wire down to .5?

Here is the wiring diagram for both

[Zv5 15'' Question]

Sweet well thanks for the advice might just bite the bullet and order both as i am from the UK and waiting times on the Zv5 is like 5 weeks so will run 2 on 6k.

[Zv5 15'' Question]

So is it safe to do the above?

[Zv5 15'' Question]

Right so that's the first bit sorted i need the D1 so i can wire the single sub to 2 ohms and when i get the second one i can wire both down to 1 ohm.

But what about running the single Zv5 at 2 ohms on the 6k amp is this safe as sundown says it will put out 3k power?.

[Zv5 15'' Question]

Right i am currently in the middle of building a new system as i blew my old sub and don't want to recone as i want to do a new build this will be my first big build.

What i am looking at buying is 1 Zv5 15'' and a SCV-6000D and wiring the sub down to 2 ohms as sundown says the amp will put out 3k at 2 ohms.

Reason for getting the SCV-6000D is because in a few months maybe after Christmas i will be buying another Zv5 15'' and wire them both down to 1 ohms so both will see roughly 3k.

Reason for this thread is to ask if its safe to do wire it to 2 ohms safely or will it over power it?

If so which Zv5 do i need the D1 or D2.

Many thanks.

[Setting gains with SMD DD-1 (Alpine headunit)]

OK cool guys thanks for all the help will give the -10db ago at the weekend and just be careful also on the disk i can't see a -7.5db tone is there somewhere i can get this?

Thanks sTp.

[Setting gains with SMD DD-1 (Alpine headunit)]

Right guys sorry to bump this but got a question what track do most of you use to set your amp gain up with i have currently used track 3 on the CD but was wondering what you guys normally use?

Thanks sTp.

[Setting gains with SMD DD-1 (Alpine headunit)]

so basically set the subwoofer level to +15 on the headunit then play the 40hz track and when i find the clipping point of the HU back it off by one and set the amp gain to suit?

also this might sound like a stupid question but when using the dd-1 the red lead goes to the speaker positive and the black goes to the amp ground?

Tahnks sTp.

[Setting gains with SMD DD-1 (Alpine headunit)]

Hi guys i got a problem i tried setting my gains on my amp today but it wouldn't detect any distortion from the head unit.

Hears what im running headunit is a Alpine CDE-113BT Amp is a T1000-1bdCP and the sub is a T2D415.

so i tried setting the gain with the DD-1 it got to max volume on the headunit and it never distorted this was on track one of the CD so i ended up keeping the volume at 32 setting the gain on the amp to that and on the headunit set the subwoofer to +10 after i had set the gains on the amp but i am worried i have done something wrong as it never detected any distortion :s

Any help would be appreciated Thanks sTp.
