Polar-bass Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi I've got the atomic 5000.1 that delivers 5kw in 1ohm. I suppose there are two versions of this, the other delivers the same at .5ohms. Now I wanna get two DD3518's, which are DVC and run them on this amp. My question is: should I load them as 2ohms on it, and only get 2,5kw rms OR try .5ohms with it? Or does anyone think it's a shitty idea to combine these subs with my amp in the first place? please help 'cause I need to act quickly to secure these two supposedly great woofers!

C-Fizzy Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Why wouldn't you just get d1's and wire it to 1 ohm. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Fizzy Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 What ohm load are the subs that you're buying. If they're dual 1 ohm subs, then wire the amp to 1 ohm. If they're dual 2 ohm subs, wire it to 2 ohms. Do NOT wire it to .5 ohms. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

Ddub847 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 yeah if it says stable @1 that doesnt mean it will be [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar-bass Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 They are 2x2 ohms, which is standard for those subs. Allright, so you wouldnt risk .5 on the atomic? But.... This leaves the question: is 2500w rms enough to power these two woofers in a daily driver?? Thanx for the answers. Obviously stable in 1ohm doesnt mean .5 - just thought I'd ask to see if anyone had tried it on lower impedances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
