Who all is wired down to half ohm daily?


Recommended Posts

How many of you are running amps like DC, AQ, Crescendo, Sundown or the like wired to half ohm without problems? I know that there are some on here. Where yall at and have you had problems doing so or not?

Im running 2 dd m4s strapped at .7 so .35 each daily sometimes get protect issues on music below 30hz full tilt I think its vibration cause my amps are mounted on the side of box and its usually around 154dbs plus when it does it but the amps come right out of protect:-)

Because Person A is able to run his equipment at .5 ohms (whether ignorantly or not) does not mean Person B will be able to. Just stating.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

i used to have my old aq3500d.1 @.5 before,

with zero problems,

but it did use to get warm

even doe i had 4 xs power d3100s and a d1200 under the hood with the 320 mechman

took things like a champ

right now i have my dc 9k @ 3.5,same electrical except more 0g runs and upgraded the d1200

to a d2400

so far zero problems as well,hasnt gone to protect,doesnt get hot,sometimes i feel the amp

aint even connected lol

and voltage doesnt go below 13.6

when i dont rev it sees 12.9,sometimes 12.8

like team bass hz said,it depends man,not all ppl can pull it off,

you just need some cool electrical to keep things stable,but than again

wiring that high can most of the time be unhealthy for your equipment,just becareful

:good:

i ran my saz1500s at .5 strapped daily. i could put them into protect or burn the fuses but that was not all that common. ran two crescendo 3ks at .5ohm daily, no problems.

but i kept my voltage at a safe level and i had my amps in closed amp racks with two fans on each amp to keep them cool.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
