nCOMP1337 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 ed in for some good advice =) any more to come ? i too suggest never dropping below recommended load for the amp and i wouldnt go under 1 ohm daily, unless you either have tons of experience or pay for the good amps that are made to handle it and have the experience as many say, if your asking your not ready, to an extent of course we all will have questions, but experience breeds knowledge any way you look at it, and that coupled with research is definitely a good way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 This kind of shit between theydontwantmusic and kranny makes me not want to read these threads sometimes... Sometimes it's good to be factual, sometimes it's good to stretch the truth and save someone's equipment from eternal damnation. I think you're both half right, half wrong... just my .02. OP, trust us. Don't drop below rated impedance. Save your amps. Impedance rise is really tricky, and you got to be sure you're right and willing to toast your setup if you're wrong. Do not use impedance rise to justify a setup. 0.5 ohms is a lot lower than 0.7 than you think, and the gains in the end would be minimal. um, who the fuck am I kidding???

Supercharged DCs Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 listen to Ed, he knows his stuff better than most. Just because someone did this or that, doesn't mean you can. So play it safe, and later on down the road, after you've learned enough to where you won't even have to ask questions like this, then you can try it. But for now, get 4 Dual 2ohm subwoofers, build a good box, and be happy with the bass! Bassless once again.

rusty959 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 x2 on what has said about not going below 1 ohm. the 4k is already power hungry as it is. To the OP; What do you have for electrical upgrades? 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty959 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Good Choice. 4k is already a ton of power, you won't be disappointed. What subs are you thinking about going with? Don't think you have said yet.
