RAM5493 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 If you want headroom for more power on the amp you could also get the 3.5K and turn the gain to the point where you get around 1800 rms @ 1 ohm. The electrical wont have to be as beefed up as if you were to go all the way to the amps potential. when you start craving more bass you can add another sub and some more batts and use the same amp to power them.

CJ18 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 No you will not need as many batteries if you plan to run the amp at 2 ohms. I would run an upgraded battery under the hood and a d3400 in the back if it were my vehicle. But as has been said before, the difference in running at 1ohm and 2ohm will not be audible to your ears. Now what you will have, is more power in reserve if you would like to add more subs later, you can then wire down to 1ohm and you would have no need to upgrade amplifiers. Now if you decide to wire down to 1 oh at some point, you would then need to add to the battery bank to support the power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just food for thought Wrong. Explain to me how the gain will do this please. Is there something on the gain knob that says "turn here for 1500w"???? I want to make this very clear THE ENTIRE AND SOUL PURPOSE OF THE GAIN IS TO MATCH THE INPUT SIGNAL COMING FROM YOUR HEADUNIT!!!!! There is no magic formula that tells you how much you can turn it down from there and get a certain amount of power. You dont know how much true power you are going to see after rise and voltage drop until you build the box and clamp the amp at that point. Please do not continue to give out uninformed, incorrect, information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thanks CJ. I didn't think the part about turning the gain down was right. I wouldn't have done that anyway.

CJ18 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Just shoot me a PM with any questions about this that you have. I can get you a 2k or 3.5k just based on what you want to do. Also would you consider matching products and going with a Level 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 This sub that you have, is it dual 4 ohm or dual 1 ohm ? He hasn't bought equipment yet.
