97Jetta1637 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Why the Hello does everyone think running at .5ohm is ok for everyone to do???? For the price of a proper electrical upgrade for a 1k or 2k amp to run @ .5ohm, you could get a bigger amp run safely @ 1 or 2ohm. i dont see a problem saying that crescendo says that there amps are 0.5ohm stable. an i will have decent electrical for it. an if i can buy that amp for around 360. an get 2500 watts or more of clean power. why wouldnt i? being stable at .5 is cool, but you're going to need about 2-4 runs of 0 gauge, upgraded under the hood, 2 in the back + a aftermarket alt so you don't drop below 13v with it at .5 compared to 1ohm you'll get 2k clean, stock alt (depending on stock size), big 3, upgraded up front, and 0 gauge to the amp Edited November 11, 2012 by 97Jetta1637 Quote #teamihop Two 12 inch DC XL's Carbon Fiber Cap Stetsom 7k Shell of box / baffle built by me Port / sealing the box by John Hone Fuck midrange Alpine-9886 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177428-97jettas-sql-trunk-wall-loudest-99-buick-century-custom-with-a-one-legged-owner/ 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.

97Jetta1637 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 so instead of running at 1 ohm and spending a considerable amount less, you're going to buy a yellowtop x3 , or a yellowtop then a 3100 which is 559.99 a piece. only for gaining about 500 watts? whatever, your money not mine. do as you please Quote #teamihop Two 12 inch DC XL's Carbon Fiber Cap Stetsom 7k Shell of box / baffle built by me Port / sealing the box by John Hone Fuck midrange Alpine-9886 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177428-97jettas-sql-trunk-wall-loudest-99-buick-century-custom-with-a-one-legged-owner/ 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.

Is it worth the risk to run that low.....nope But i did and voltage at idle stayed above 13v I would advise not to do it for the minimal gain/risk factor Quote down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups ^^ Cant wait to swalllow Ghost's babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
