TRTC360 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Ok so my friend is running two skar audio VVX-12's on a planet audio 1250D at .5 ohm, on completely stock electrical, i've heard of people giving the subs a clean 1000rms a piece without any issues, I noticed that with these subs i'm guessing they are getting about 800rms a piece and they get very hot and a little smelly after about 10min of playtime. Can an amp at .5 ohm send a clipped signal if its being ran lower than its rated ohm load and if it's not getting proper power to run at .5 ohm? Like if he runs an SAZ3500D at 2 ohms with good electrical and we clamp it at 1600rms for both subs will we get the same results or will they run cooler and not get smelly?

Guest Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 he's more than likely clipping the subs if they're getting hot after just 10 minutes of play. why did he get dual 2 coils instead of dual 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EclipseChris Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 it's at half gain also That doesn't mean anything. Chances are the way hes using it even if the gains were all the way down he would be clipping. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.
