Jd1102 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 what about a 2ohm amp that's puts out 2000w? most likely it will cost you more to have that power at 2 ohms than 1ohm Quote

Jd1102 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 but i have 2ohm subs. can't wire them down to 1ohm can i? sorry i missed that part yea 2 ohm might be better than .5 ohm bc you would need beefier electrical to handle the .5 Quote
SkylarDunn Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) what about a 2ohm amp that's puts out 2000w? you might be able to support a rockford 1501bd, 1600w RMS from 1-2ohms regulated, i ran both of mine at 1 ohm, never had a problem, you can find them as low as $150 on ebay, but i dont see any listed at the moment. You might want to check your local craigslist for some deals. There really isnt a reliable amp for under $300 that does decent power that isnt a few years old. Edit: before someone tells me off, saying that the audiopipe 3000 is a great 1 ohm stable amp, it will play at 1 ohm for a while, but its not designed for it, and alot of them have caught fire because of it. It might do 1100w RMS at 2 ohms if you dont have any clipping. Edited December 31, 2011 by SkylarDunn Quote Getting bass into the cabin of a W124 mercedes is impossible.

USAFBordeaux Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Posted December 31, 2011 its the price range as of right now. it's just going to be a daily system. I could probably stretch it a little bit.

deathcards Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) don't forget amps are less efficient at lower ohms so it will hunger for power/amperage so that 120 amps seems like a snack .5 ohms > 2 ohms more amps > less amps Edited December 31, 2011 by deathcards Quote skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps
Socky Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 the 3000d is a 2 channel amp, hook each sub up to 1 channel, run the channel at 1 ohm. Nuff said. or a crescendo 2k run it at .5 ohm. draw even more current.

USAFBordeaux Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Posted December 31, 2011 what would be the cheapest way to upgrade my electrical to handle the 2000w?

EricM9104 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Posted December 31, 2011 If you only have $300 to spend, keep saving, you wont get anything worth a damn for that price. Save up enough for an alt, put that in, then save up $500 for a crescendo 3500 (i dont remember what they cost off hand). why crescendo? Because they're built well, priced well, and it uses the same board as the sundown 3500. If i was going to buy an amp, i'd buy one thats not going to blow its mosfets in a year (the audiopipe 3000 comes to mind, and its not even actually 1 ohm stable either) It is... You can only wire it to 2ohms due to it being 2 AP1500's strapped in one case. Run at 2ohms, call it a good damn day.
