Nick7186 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Sorry if this has been discussed before and if so please link me to the thread. Im trying to decide if it would be better to run (3) 15" subs at 1.333 ohms or (2) 15" subs at 1 ohm. Ive decided on a Sundown Audio amp for the subs and have seen some test results where these amps have been tested down to .35 ohms ( I realize this wont last long). Would these amps handle a .6666 ohm load for any amount of time on music? It will be run on two yellow top optima batteries.

Trey_Dog650 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Should be no reason to run the amp under 1 ohm. I dont think you even have the electrical to support it anyways. If you want more power buy a bigger amp and have your electrical situated first Also 3 15 at 1.33 ohm vs. 2 15 at 1 ohm. The 3 15 might be louder just cuz more cone area and motor if they were the same power. If the 3 15 had more power then of course it should be louder. But both setups need to be in a well designed enclosure built for the subs Quote 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.

PowerHouse407 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 sundowns can run .5 ohm all day if you have the power to back it up and know what your doing. but 1 ohm is a good place to be for daily beating!

Nick7186 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Ok, please educate me on the electrical upgrades needed to run a sundown 3500 and a sundown 200.4 for the mids and highs. This is going in the crew cab of an 06 silverado so no problem with space on the subs. Just couldnt figure out if 2 or 3 subs would be best.

Trey_Dog650 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 You should get a H/O Alt as well as a few batteries. maybe 2-4 of the biggest batteries you can fit depending on how big of an alt you get Quote 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
