.5 ohms vs 1ohm on my electrical.


Recommended Posts

also an amp can be one of the best amps out there but depending on it's technology won't run below 1 ohm, like new rockfords and some of the kicker amps aren't even stable below 2 ohm.

I know a guy who didnt know that when strapping amps the ohm loads cut in half.. He wired his AB500.1s To .3 STRAPPED and they plYed daily no problem.. Dont know how They never blew either

some amps double your ohms when strapping

just cause some people do it and get LUCKY i stress lucky here they think they can do it all the time with any amp thats not the case i also know of a few that have ran there amps low blew them and replaced them before anybody knew and still to this day say they never had a problem lol cause fan boys can't have there brand look bad ya know!

can't belive everything you see on youtube

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Wiring at 1 ohm is for poosies. Wire at .25 or .125 for 4x or even 8x the powa draw. SO MUCH POWA!

no, that's not the math dammit.

for 1 ohm

1 / 4 = .25. .25 / 4 = .0625. so 1 / .25 / .0625

for 2 ohm

2 /4 = .5. .5 / 5 = .125. so 2 / .5 / .125

y u no learn math good?!

price has no influence on how something sounds

I told him to move the fucking port.

they see me hoppin they stoppin they can't believe im so white and dirty

It looks like you got so drunk, that someone came up and stole your leg.

I think this thread has established that we don't need math to wire subwoofers.

OBVIOUSLY, The best bet is to just go for the lowest possible impedence with blatent disregard for any sort of logic, especially math!

Everyone knows that running .25 or .125 on stock electrical just shows how big your cojones are and how little of a fuck you actually give!

Now do you guys that have beefed up electrical have any voltage drop? Right now I'm dropping to 12.8 on the low lows.

running under 1ohm AND low voltage = magic smoke in no time

people who run inder 1ohm usually have the electrical to back it all up. meaning 13/14v at full tilt
