Hi-Po 5.0 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Its not full retard. Plenty of people out there are running at .5 all day and running just fine. Lol. Some people even prefer .5. Just cause you dont like it doesnt mean ut shouldnt be done. Just saying. And for box specs, ive talked to a few skar reps when i was designing it and they say my box will be fine 93' Exploder Deck:Pioneer 6400-bt Front Stage: Crescendo PWX 8"s and Skar Audio VX1-ST per door Amps: Sundown Audio SAZ-3500 v1 @.375 ohm daily, CT Sounds 125.2 Subwoofer: Two PSI Platform 2 18"s,Fully Loaded D1.5's Enclosure: B Pillar Fourth Order, 3:1 ratio tuned at 46 (Designed by Low Hertz Box Designs) Wire: All Sky High Car Audio Cable!

And for box specs, ive talked to a few skar reps when i was designing it and they say my box will be fine those people running .5ohm probably have heaps of box rise working to their advantage as well, which is also another indicator of a bad box design. if the amps were meant to be run at .5 ohm, then they would be rated at .5ohm instead of 1 ohm. im just trying to keep you from costing yourself some money via being hardheaded. but you are going to do what your going to do anyways, so go ahead. run your amp at .5ohm give your subs 1,000+rms each when your subs and your amp are dead i hope kevin has paid enough attention to know just how bad you are abusing all 3 pieces of equipment and that you are running this in a manner that voids all the warranties.

There's team members running gear at .5 with no issues. The escalades running 6 sk2500s at .5 with out problems. Running a 1500 at .5 won't throw 1k+ per sub.

Hi-Po 5.0 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 This subs rated at 2k rms anyways, so its not gunna hurt it even if it was throwing 1000. This is a temporary setup, and it was rewired to 2 ohm immediately after i played it at .5 my final setup will be 2 15" vvxs at 1 ohm. Not trying to sound hard headed. Ive talked to a few skar guys, and even ran my build setup my Kevin himself.
