lagexe Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 SSD is beast and like many great FI/AA products...grossly underrated. If you truly want something beast, I would sell the amp for a larger amp and then run two D1s to a 1 ohm nominal to the amp. I should have said it, but I'm new to audio. I don't understand what "1ohm Nominal" is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 If you are looking at two 1,000 watt amps...then you are looking at 2,000 altogether. Two subs to the same amp would be 1,000 watts, 500 watts a piece. Not equal power at all. Even if wired to 1ohm? Does 2 loads (subs) cut the power (watts) in half? Even still would I get more spl if I went with 2 Dual-1 wired to 1ohm? Right now I'm getting 750watts, if I'm correct I'll either get 2 subs doing 750watts instead of one. However, if my original thought was correct, I would get 2subs doing 1500watts. <--- That is likely wishful thinking. Say you have two 1,000 watt amps. A D2 wired down to 1 ohm nominal on both amps means both subs would be seeing 1,000 watts. But two D1s wired to 1 ohm nominal on the same 1,000 watt amp is only 1,000 watts. I think you're confusing yourself and making it much more difficult than it needs to be. But you did say two D2s on two amps, or two D1s on the same amp.

If I have two D1s wired to 1ohm on 1 1500rms amp, would that be as loud as two D2s on two separate 1500rms amps (both D2s wired to 1ohm)?

lagexe Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 You won't! -kingSUV Care to elaborate? lol... I assume you mean "It won't" But I'm not sure what "It/you" is Are you saying one would be louder than the other, or would they be the same? Or either? I'm not being a troll, but your sentence doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, in essence you would be looking at double the power with two amps. 1 amp 1,500 = 750 per woofer 2 amps 3,000 = 1,500 per woofer If the enclosure has been designed with power in mind, you would see better results with double the power. Nothing dramatic, but you are looking at double the power. But in this situation I would rather run a single 2,500RMS amp to both D1 subs opposed to two ONX1500s Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
