Wallaceman Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 So I have two 15" Sound Storm Subs and a 5000watt mono block amp. the subs are dual 4 ohm and the amp is one ohm stable. would it be safe for my subs to be wired to one ohm? or would it do something weird? sorry if this is a stupid question, I've never had this come up in previous installs.

bkolfo4 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Need to know what amp to answer correctly. Is it 1 ohm stable? Is it truely 5000 watts? Can those subs handle 2500 each? I would worry that is a lot of power to be playing with if you are asking this question. . .

Wallaceman Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Its a Sound Storm EV5000D amp, I just went ahead and threw them in and its working fine. And yes I bench tested the amp and it threw 5000 at 1ohm Quote Just be honest, it's always a work in progress with ever changing plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEvil Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I doubt you're seeing 5K off stock electrical..

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

TeamHT Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Sound storm is crap equipment. I mean absolutely no offense, but that's true. The subs could barely take their rated on the best day. So its a good think you would never even see 1200 watts out of those amps. I'm just curious which bench test you did...

I'm just curious which bench test you did... the standard bench test obviously. you put the amp on the bench and look at it. duh OP... ya... we can spot bull shit from 5 miles away on this forum. as for your question... you can really only wire to 1ohm or 4ohm so you better be ok with running 1ohm. ill bet that amp will get pretty hot at 1 ohm.
