Recommended Posts

yeah he said "going to have", so he hasn't bought them yet.

Or I already bought them and they will be here soon...

Well one more thing i going to have 2 dual 2 ohm subs

Hold up... going to have? Why not order dual 4's then? Make your life a lot easier.

:werd_msword:

Since you are on a budget, you are going to spend more money and effort trying to run at .5 than you would finding a decent yet cheap amp that will do 1 ohm.

All the amps that will do .5 ohm have to be build well enough to handle it. Great amps, but not within your budget and wouldn't be right for your needs. Plus running .5 puts quite a bit of extra strain on your electrical which if you haven't put it together yet is $$$

Find a used amp to run at 2 Ohms with the power you need. Alpine pdx 1200, Kicker zx 1500,...etc

or 2 small (750-1000 w rms) 1 Ohm stable amps that you will be able to link.

That 0.5 Ohm thing is not a good solution for music, for burps it's ok.

black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp

OEM head unit, Amplifiers Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200.

Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats.

2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a 2.6 ft3  ported box. SecondSkin Damplifier on front doors, and Luxury Liner Pro for the cargo area.

running above .5 is for bitchez

Bitchez will run their amp longer than yours ! And will save money.

I can't believe you have the same sound quality at 0.5 Ohm, than at 1 Ohm or above.

Everybody is not in spl comps everyday ! they usually listen to music and only tones at tuning frequency !

OP, do what you want, but don't be mad when our amp blows or if it doesn't sound good enough for you !

BRZ1700 is 1200@2 ohms

Hardcore: The people who run at .5 daily know the risks and also use good equipment. We are trying to set up OP with a reliable system that won't crap out on him - which WILL happen if he is running .5 with a budget amp.
