Autruche Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 If you want more power, get a bigger amp. That amp will probably drop to like 40% efficiency at .25 ohm. If you do it, crack an egg open on top of your amp, it'll probably get hot enough to fry it before it blows. Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

bassrace Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I love how ppl say if you want more power get a bigger amp.lol . Really i never thought of that.... O yes i did read my posts. First of all this was just for fun really i had this amp for a coupl years and was just wonderin what it was capable of. Even if it was stable at a .25ohm i doubt i would even push it there. My amp is stable daily at .5ohm so i was like shyt im sure someone has ran this amp that loww i guess no one has.

TeamHT Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Of course no one has. You're expecting too much from a max rated amplifier. And have you run the amp at .5 ohm? I've seen it done only a handful of times, for short periods of times. Not all were successful. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Supercharged DCs Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Its your amp, run it at .25 and tell us what happened, we need someone to test it so the next time someone asks this question we can tell him how it would turn out Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsideshot23 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 depends on your imp rise.. if you have a high rise then iot wouldnt be any different then running another amp on 1 ohm with low rise.. My box has high rise and i run my ams at .25 to make up for some of it...

kirill007 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Bassrace strikes again.. Don't do .25ohm daily, even with great amps you are still running a few risks even with perfect electricals. If you want to try it out, be my guest, i guess it will blow or go into protect before powering on. Outsideshot23, do you know what "impedance "rise"" is? Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 95% of people that talk about impedance rise know what impedance rise or box rise are. Even worse, I don't think they realize that impedance rise isn't a worry in daily. Box rise is the only thing people should care about for music, as enclosure efficiency can determine everything. Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

Box rise is the only thing people should care about for music, as enclosure efficiency can determine everything. music? You meant burps. No, I meant music. Wiring down low is to combat impedance rise, which only matters for burps, but box rise matters for both burps and music. A box with less rise is a more efficient box and will help you get the most out of a setup. That's why people will pay others for good efficient box designs, or why some people will build a dozen different boxes for 1 sub until they find what they like. It goes along with the term 10% equipment 90% install. Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

More efficient means more dB/watt. I agree with building a box to combat rise, but to a certain extent. Wiring below 1 ohmis useless, amps get way less efficient below 1 ohm and it adds a lot more stress to the amp and subwoofer since it's sending more amps thru the subwoofer.
