PURP's 02 Denali Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Ok the amp is 1000w and only says its capable of being wired to 2 ohms will it be bad if I wire it down to 1 ohm? I am running it on 1 skar vvx 15 just so you guys know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01ExSport Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'd rather run it at 4, 1ohm will prolly put it in protect or heat it up and drop output for short intervals. Doesn't take much to make those Kenwood's unhappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't take much to make those Kenwood's unhappy. lol i think thats the problem im having now actually when im playing my music loud my sub bangs then it wont be as loud for a little bit then it will hit again or rarely the sub will make a small pop and cut all the way out for a min then turn back on/ is this because of the amp not being able to take the 1ohm or could it be because im running 16 gauge wire which i will be replacing on saturday. but i think im going to return the amp tomorrow and save for a better 1000 or 1200 watt amp that is 1ohm capable? what do you and anyone else think i should do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURP's 02 Denali Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 or could it be the box because i just built a piece of shit box that did not turn out at all as i planned last night. i hope its not the box because it was a bitch to build ( my first box build ever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-dubs89 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 sounds like your amp is unhappy , i knew some one with a big kenwood running a pair of mtx 12 's i think 2 ohm and when he would get them bumping it wasn't long until the kenwood would get hot and shut down . 4 ohm for that amp might be best . i would drop a few bucks for some beefier speaker wire i like this stuff http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KRD10BL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) I can tell you from experience that the 9105d will run 2ohm fine if you don't clip, you start clipping and it will eventually do what you say it is doing. I only have a 65amp alt but i have 1/0 grounds from alt to strut tower and from battery to strut tower, in the rear i have 4ga from strut tower to batter and the amp grounds to rear battery with 4ga, i have 4ga power wire front to back and a 6ga (don't ask) All i can say is i wish i would have bought a better amp, when i get my new alt i will see if keeping volatge above 12.5 ,makes a difference. That is when i have the most trouble. If i stay above that or maybe 13v it will usually keep on going fine.
