Recommended Posts

oh my god...im not running the both amps on 1ohm....i will be running both amps either on 2 or 4 ohms....

so if i would be running both emps on 2 ohms, each of the amp will be seeing 1 ohm

if i run them both in 4ohms, each amp will be seeing 2 ohm....im not running my amps both on either 1 or 0,.5

Seems like everyone recommended the m1. I would also recommended the ?1. I had a choice of either getting a did m4a or 2 nendo bc3500's.... I went with the nendo thinking that imp rise will be split between 2 amps instead of 1 which in theory would result in more power

Again here's your problem. Your subs are D2 which means hooked up either together in parallel or series on one amp you can do 1 or 4 ohm (this is also what you'd have options for strapping both amps but each amp will be doing half that therefore you can't go 1 ohm strapped). If you run your subs separately you can go 2 ohm. You cant go .5 ohm on those DD m amps because the amps aren't stable for that and will likely damage itself.

I've already mentioned earlier what i'd do in your situation.

if he has two he can run them at .5 or 2 or higher.

if he runs one each he can run them at 1 or 4

even if he did those dd amps are retarded and would be able to take .5 all day.

I still say 1 m1b per woofer at one ohm > all other suggestions.

my opinion is to get the M1s. strap them use the bass knob that comes with them and wire to 2 ohms.

honestly DD amps love to be wired low. .5ohm a piece all day on them will not hurt them. i do it all the time.

a lot of people with no experience with DD amps are chiming in and giving you false information.

screw the manual, no you wont fry it if wired low. i run .5 ohm daily, my buddy runs .375 ohm daily. my other buddy runs 1 ohm daily and .25 ohms for burps. i will be running .25 ohm for burps and see how they like it daily. if you have a big batt or 2 in the back you will be fine. watch your voltage and be smart though. dont be running them that low at 11 or 10 volts and lower. be smart and they will produce some serious power

the only issue with wiring the m1s low is their surface area and footprint of amp. at least on m1c they are so small they cant effectively cool at lower impedence in the summer so id recommend a fan. but the m2bs have enough surface area cooling to run lower. especially the m3. honestly you cant go wrong with either.

but if the m1 is cheaper go with that. you wont be disappointed.

ive run the m1b at 0,5ohm and belive me...the car died first...the amp was nearly warm...

and if i have 2 D2 subs..i could wire them both to 2ohms

so theoretically if i strap my amps and each would be seeing 1ohm(amps), that means im on 2ohms wired for both amps

and fpr wiring 2 D2 subs--you can wire them 0,5/2/or higher
