Upgrading from 2ohms to 1


Recommended Posts

Posted

I currently have a soundstream 1200d (stealth series). I'm running at 2 ohms with next to no voltage drop at full tilt. I drop to 13.9 if i push it just to see if it drops at idle.

If I was to get new subs and wire at 1 ohm. How much more electrical will I need? I currently have the big 3 done in 2gauge but that will be upgraded to 0/1. I have a single 4gauge pos run from front to back for sub amp. And my ground is straight to the frame. I have a 70amp alt and stock bat. Would I be okay if I got an extra bat and a 0gauge run front to back? I'm on mobile so can't post link to why the amp puts out but I know it's easy to find on the net.

Cheers

Edit: I drive a 1991 Mazda 323 if that matters

Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at.

I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k.

I would say a good battery under the hood and upgrading to 1/0 where possible would be good enough.As for the batteries you pick what suits your needs and price range.Just get the biggest battery you can fit under the hood and in your budget.Honestly you wont be able to tell the difference with your system between a XS, Kinetik, or any other brand.

Sounds like you pretty much have it under control. Like the above posts. New battery and see what happens.

Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born.

My penis is bigger than your penis

I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.
