Rck'nRF Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 Hi all 1st post, Today i took a gamble an bought one Alpine 15" type-S DVC 500watt RMS to along with my old power 1000bd RF amp. Question: on sub it says 2ohm + 2ohm..am i stuck with a 4ohm load now..really wanted 2ohm minimum.. Thanks for all inputs!
Azagtoth502 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 4ohm or 1 ohm is what you can do. pa-pa-platypus sorry not everybody has a companies nuts so far down their throat they catch every drop ball sweat when it falls
mothra Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 if I were you i'd wire down to 1Ω than put a DMM to see how close it actually is to 1Ω. I'd than research your amp more to see if guys have ran it at 1Ω and how it did at that load. guy I work with has an older Kicker ZX1000.1 that is rated to be only 2Ω stable but I know guys that swear up and down that it can handle a 1Ω load without issues. the guy bought my 12" TC9 sub we dropped it down to 1Ω and it took it like a champ. He's since gotten a Kinetik 2000 and doesn't drop below 13v. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know
Rck'nRF Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks db, this is what my RF amp says on bottom.. ------------------------------------------------- Amplifier Type Mono ChannelRMS Power at 2 Ohms 1000 W x 1RMS Power at 4 Ohms 500 W x 1 ----------------------------------------------- It doesn't mention anything about 1ohm loads/assuming not recommended.. if i don't max out amp, you think 1ohm kill it?? The Power1000bd is from the year 2000 if that helps
Guest Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 then you're stuck with 4 ohm. get a different woofer if you want to run 2 ohms.
Rck'nRF Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Posted January 10, 2014 I guess my final question is: Can my old power1000bd handle this as a 1ohm load if i don't turn gain up more than half way?

dolarbilz Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 Just run at 4ohm you'll get plenty of power out of that bd trust me
