CJ18 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 lol at how against everyone here is about running an amp at .5 I run at .5 daily but know the risks and have the electrical to back it up.

fox_racin4 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 i must add... running amp A at .5 and running amp B at .5 can make a differance.. like say.. taking a pyle amp and running it at .5 will probly instantly blow it, but take lets say.. and Americanbass amp and run it at .5, and it would be "fine" Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hammer Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 lol at how against everyone here is about running an amp at .5 Its not that they are all against .5ohm.. They are against giving advice to someone to run .5.... The general mentallity is that is you are so inexperienced or new to audio that you have to ask...YOU probably shouldnt be running at .5.. Some members are below .5...but I have yet to see a thread asking if their electrical is adequate. If you ask about your electrical its probably not enough...... 1 Quote MY BUILD *****http://tinyurl.com/gmcbuild***** Vehicles 2005 GMC Canyon CB1000r - Currently where any future funds are going.

cmegorm250 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 You guys don't need to get all upset. I appreciate both sides either to run .5 or not. My electrical is handling it just fine. I just didn't know how much of a jump .5 is that's all. So if I blow my amp that's my bad. I'm not thousands of dollars in like some of you. If it blows ill just buy another amp and play it safe till the electrical is better. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79Bronco Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Wiring at 1 ohm is for poosies. Wire at .25 or .125 for 4x or even 8x the powa draw. SO MUCH POWA! 1 Quote Source: Parrot Asteroid Smart Processor: Digital Designs X1 Amps: Soundstream Ref 4.920 + Soundstream Ref 4.400 + Soundstream DTR 3400 Front stage: Hertz 165xl + HL 70 + HT28 Rear fill: Hertz 165xl Subs: 2 SA-12's 3-way active ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
