I started running my Sundown 3000 at .5 ohms a little over a week ago, and I figured I'd share my experience with performance in regards to temp of the amp.
Subs: 2 dual 2 ohm audiopulse axis wired down to .5
Electrical: 200 amp alt, one kinetik 1800 under the hood and one kinetik 1800 in the trunk.
Sealed box, 2 cubes per sub, impedence rises over 1 ohm at 18 hz and doesnt drop below 1.1 ohms after that.
Gains on the amp are set with 50volume on the deck as max
Before started I took the temp of the amp it was 62 F
I started playin music on volume 40 for 8 minutes, then I turned it up to 50 for 13 minutes. Total test time 21 mins.
I measured the temp of the amp again:
The side with the power wired was 78.4 F, the side with the rcas was 87.8 F
The A/C wasnt on, outside temp was about 55 F, amp is mounted on a board with nothing above it.
Songs played during the test were:
Chain hang low
Paper Planes Remix
This is why Im hot
Lollipop Remix
Watch my shoes
3 Peat
The subs cone temp were both around 76 F
With this said, I feel comfortable running my Sundown 3000 and .5 ohms daily.
