.5 ohms vs 1ohm on my electrical.


Recommended Posts

Stupidest shit I did was wire my 3.5k at .5 on bone stock electrical, saw instant LOW on the stinger volt meter then I resided to 2 ohm, never again will I wire below 1ohm

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.

What are you using to read the voltage? I went and installed another 18 the other night and thought about it for a while and decided to wire to 0.35 ( knowing that i dont have the electrical, but you wont know till you try it ). I went around the corner and played full tilt. Stinger meter read 13.4v at full tilt, measured with my multimeter at the same time = 11.1v full tilt! So now i dont play my music at all until i can get my boy to come through and help me pull this sub back out and wire to 1.4.

Trust me, i dont go past battery voltage or i turn it down, normally 12.6 volts. I played music for maybe 5-10 sec and seen the 11.1 and backed it off quick. I knew i didnt have the electrical, and confirmed it with that. But I knew the risk of trying it. Its going to be hard to go to 1.4 since I heard the potential, but I'll try something new next year.

this thread has officially made me scared. i know iv asked in the past and yet i still wired at .5. but now that iv heard i can be causing damage even if my amp isn't getting warm scares the crap out of me. i'm going to wire to 2 ohm this wknd and order a xs d3100. hopefully soon ill be looking in to a singer alt.

Look at that, someone decided to use that lump of grey matter between their ears.
