alaskanzx5 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Say you have a choice of 2 Amps that put out 1500 rms at 2 ohms or a single amp that does 2500 rms at 1 ohm which would you pick And why? I'm thinking 2 at 2 ohms, would have 3000 rms and at a lower ohm load possible chance of less power draw. If this is seen as a vs thread I understand and don't mind it being locked. Just trying to figure something out with pinning 2 different avoids up against each other. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

BigGains Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Id go with the two @ 2ohm for the obvious reason of easier load on the amps less draw and less strain 2003 silverado TEAM DC Pioneer Avh 5500 4 DC lvl 5 18s 12 crescendo pwx 6.5s 4 crescendo ft1 tweets 6xs d3400s Singer 400 alt Skyhigh ofc wires Skyhigh speaker wires Smd vm1 2 DC 175.4 DC 10k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TZspeakersZac Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'd go for the 2 at 2 ohm. Higher efficiency, definitely more wattage for the amperage you'll draw. Nah man, it's cuz of the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 ^ my same thoughts, I wont have a lot of room for extra batteries and to stay at a lower class in competitions you have battery limitations. the lower power draw but more power and higher effiency imo is worth it. I would save roughly $100-200 which could be used for deadener, wire, other car performance parts ect ect.. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

TRTC360 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 box rise is a real bitch, I know of someone that swapped his 4 5k's at 1ohm each to 2 "6.5k" at .35 or .45 each and gained .5 db on the meter.

alaskanzx5 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 yeah box rise could be an issue, but when the amps im considering put out closer to 1700-1800 at 2ohm and the subs have a 1200rms handling it wouldn't hurt to have some rise. could put it closer to rms for the subs so they live longer. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
