Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 If I ran a 3.5k amp at 2 ohm instead of 1 ohm, would I still need the electrical reserve (number of batteries) as I would for a 1 ohm load?

412 CVX Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Are you trying to avoid spending extra money on electrical support? you're gonna spend at least 300 more on amp that can do 3500 at 2 ohms than an amp that can do it at 1 ohm. just buy the extra battery and get the 3500 at 1 ohm.

SilveradoGoesBang Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 No, but you will Probbly see about 1.8kish at 2 ohms so I would Probbly atleast do big 3 and one extra batt Quote "SilveradoGoesBang" http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155256-silveradogoesbang-box-done-take-notes-on-bracing/ 2 FI BTL 18's CT Sounds 7k 2013 MidwestSPL Finals Xtreme 3 - 1st Place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm fine spending money. I just want to stay at two ohms for a little better sound quality. I'm thinking about getting an Incriminator Audio Death Penalty sub which is rated at 1500 watts rms. A DC Audio 3.5k would be an excellent amp for that sub at 2 ohm. That is my thinking anyway. Would there be an audible difference running a sub like that at 2 ohm vs 1 ohm?

412 CVX Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 you already made a thread asking the same question. ohm load will NOT make an audible difference. It's all gonna be in the box.

mrd6 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Definitely no audible difference except that you could be louder with better head room and dynamics wired to 1 ohm than 2 Quote My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 you already made a thread asking the same question. ohm load will NOT make an audible difference. It's all gonna be in the box. Different sub, different amp, different power. And my original question in this thread was not about the sound quality difference. And since your so helpful how does a DC 3.5k do 3500 watts at 2 ohms or did I read your first reply wrong???

MrSkippyJ Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 it says on their website it does 1800watts @ 2ohms. Try helping yourself maybe?

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Only looking to run one IA Death Penalty off of the amp, not two.
