Thewes Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 two runs of 0 power from front bat to the Kinetik 1400 in the back, then 2 runs of ground off the back battery to chassis. My voltage dips for sure, but it NEVER drops below 12, not even at idle (but I dont jam at idle anyways). Think thats good enough to cautiously run .5? Ordering a 300 amp iraggi soon.

Derrick824 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I run my Sundowns @ 0.5ohm daily and pound on them hard. I'm currently running the stock 160a alt w/ a pair of Optima G31s in the back and never see anything below 11.8v. My amps never even get warm. I ran a single 1500 in my Explorer for a little bit @ 0.5ohm on a pair of Bls with the stock alt and a single G31 in the back and it was the same deal. The voltage never fell below 11.8 and the amp never got warm. At 0.5ohm these amps will do 2k+watts. You'll have to clamp it to get the exact # though.

audiofanaticz Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 yea, them sundownz seem to take .5 ohms like a champ, and make some great power! Now just get two strapped at 1 ohm (.5 ohm a amp) and you can get will over 4krms out of both 1500s, from what ive read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM9104 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 what about the 3000d?SS Audio has four SAZ-3000D's, fairly good electrical and runs each one at 0.5ohms daily.So yeah, probably capable of 0.5ohms if you have the electrical to back it up. 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 24k miles Stock H/U and mids/highs Power Acoustik GW3-12" D2 Sub HiFonics BXX1200.1D @ 1ohm Random 2.5^3' dual ported box NVX LOC Stinger wiring throughout 1977 Chevy SWB Cammed 350 Dual exhaust Cheap Wish stereo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricR Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 damn....nice...my next line of amps will be..... i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

zaxfire69 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 That Sundown 1500d @ .5 ohms with a good electrical will get you 1600watts-1800 watts give or take a few. From what I read they are nice amps and can handle the lower ohm loads WITH a STRONG electical system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
