moegej Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 Im quite sure kicker amps can only be run down 2ohms. my zx1500.1 was like that anyway 06 v6 Mustangbig 3Mechman 270 Hybrid G2 interstate batteriesBC3500 wired at 12 Sundown x-10 D4's
Berries53 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Posted September 17, 2013 you mean ran down to 1 ohm?
SnowDrifter Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 Running below rated is your choice and YMMV ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Berries53 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Posted September 17, 2013 YMMV? whats that mean? lol
SnowDrifter Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 Your mileage may vary My way of saying: no way of knowing what will happen. It may break, it may play for years without issue. But the chance is there that it may break and if you wire below rated, you need to accept that as a possible outcome. Neither myself, nor anyone here can tell you to do it because then we'll be liable if it breaks. It's a personal choice ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Berries53 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Posted September 17, 2013 well yea i know its my choice. im just asking for yall opinions. and possible experiences doin this. i know sum people have probably blowen their amp doing it and sum have worked and took the stain like it was nothing. and i wouldnt hold people over the net responsible for blowing an amp that that litterally had pretty much nothing to do with lol im not a 12 year old anymore lol
Guest Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 2 ohm stable kicker amps tend to instantly protect when wired at 1 ohm. no point.
Berries53 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Posted September 17, 2013 thanks man. thats pretty much all i needed to know.
CommGuru Posted September 20, 2013 Report Posted September 20, 2013 I have that same amp although perhaps a year or so older and I've not had a true 1ohm load to put on it but it runs fine at 1.5'ish.
