runner800 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 So this is just a little explanation of why when we run at .5ohm it takes a big alternator or 2 and a few batts. If anyone has ever had a 2ohm stable amp and tried to run at 1ohm without sufficient electrical they have probably experienced amp shutdown at volume, but most people don't understand what's going on electrically. The problem is called voltage dip, and it occurs when impedance is very low. As the impedance decreeces the curent increeces, and consistently voltage drops, the problem is literally that the impeeadece is so low the electrons are moving around the circuit so quickly that it's a near short circuit. And as most of us know the way to avoid this is to get a bigger alternator. The biger alternator can provide the curent the amp is asking for to combat voltage dip. The moral of the story is either beef up the electrical or raise your impeadance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA98hoe Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Bashing lol.....what about amperage sir? Its not voltage the amp craves its the amperage correct?

runner800 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Your correct but amp protection circuitry shuts down amps at low voltage so the amp turns off before amperage actualy becomes a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner800 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 just wondering what made u want to write about this subject? One of my friends was having this problem and nobody could explain why I was just told to get a bigger alt but I couldnt figure out why, so I looked it up an did some research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Its actually because of a way higher current draw that causes voltage dip Kthanksbye Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
