0.5 Ohms

i am using my ferrad to give me a constant 14.4 volts but if i upgrade my electrical i would remove it and ad a 16v batt or a 16v capcell. i am using 0/2 awg wire

I don't think you realize what it takes to run a 16v system. Do some research bro.

Under no circumstances should you place a 16v battery in a 12v system either.

Your best solution may be to get 2 amps that are strappable and run them at 2 ohms strapped. Or just run 2 smaller amps at 1 ohm each and gain match them.

you have absolutely no clue what it takes to make a 14v or 16v system work.

no, just because your battery is charging at 14v, doesnt make your car a 14v system. its 12v. a 14v system charges at 16-ish, and a 16v system charges at mid 18's.

doing a 14v or 16 or 18v setup, requires you to basically get a $500 alternator with an external regulator so you can set the voltage to whatever.

then you have to either get a step down module so you can run the stock electrical things in your car without frying the living fuck out of them, or you can install a stock alternator and run the car off of that, and have the $500 alternator run the stereo.

doesn't that sound complicated?

2 apsm's strapped, cheap too.

[CodyLucente]

your right i knew nothing about 16v systems

by the way, its farad. and they're almost useless 95% of the time. that "8 farad" cap you have, coupled with say a 1000w amp, will drain in (about) less than a second.

back to the original issue i am looking for an amp that can power my subs at a 2ohm load they are power accoustik MOFO's rated 1500watts rms idk if they actually do that though
