If you are willing to caculate and accept that risk then have at it Part of that risk being you void the warranty in most cases. If it blows and or frys it's on you now that you have wired it below safe standards. Some companies do warranty below .5 ohm but best to double check with the amp manufacturer. ^Vehicle log to come soon for this.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Agreed. I can't even count hoe many times weve seen people shit on a company about a toasted amp when they were the ones at fault. Uf it goes you kinda have to say well that sucks and get it fixed realizing its on you.

Uf it goes you kinda have to say well that sucks and get it fixed realizing its on you. Me too, so and so brand sucks because they screwed me on the amp saying warranty doesn't cover blah blah blah. If you did something improper even wiring it up wrong and didn't know it. That's absolutely your fault. Everytime I go to wire a amp up I double and triple check that I wired everything correctly. Does it take a ton of time? Yeah, but it's worth it in the end. ^Vehicle log to come soon for this.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Johnson Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Sounds like the amp was starving for more power, im sure if you had the proper electrical you would of had better results im guessing. That's odd though the Stinger volt meter That was reading back at the amp had a higher voltage reading then the cars meter. I imagine the cars meter was reading more up closer to the battery under the hood. I would think your cars meter should of read higher voltage then the stinger meter.... odd Oh, I know I was starving for power but I didn't give a fuck. Everything was in the car except subs when I bought it and I only paid 600 for it. It was an 88 maxima. The stinger I got calibrated at a shop and it still went to shit. The only reason I believed the car's a little more was because that shit used to shake hard and struggle when the voltage started dipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 i can count like 5 people i know off the top of my head that run amps below 1 ohm. and some below .5, daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are willing to caculate and accept that risk then have at itYour post got me thinking.... Most of the things we do to are vehicles are not designed to be that way so we actually put more then just a amp at risk if its wired below what its rated for. We risk damaging Shocks/struts, electrical, tires. Im probably missing a lot but when modifying a vehicle with a large stereo system we risk damaging a lot of things. I think people just have to be smart about it.

Uf it goes you kinda have to say well that sucks and get it fixed realizing its on you.I have heard some companies will void warranty if you don't have it installed by some one who is certified or a shop of that sort... Have you heard of this? I never heard of people being certified or like licensed to install stereos have you? And if that is the case I have seen many shops who do shit jobs and have no clue what the hell they are doing "Toyota Camry rebuild page 21 (link)http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183768-94-crossfire-camry-18s-walled-singer-alt-has-arrived-rebuild-starts-pg-10/page-21 PIONEER DEH-P8400BH 2 CROSSFIRE C5 1700D 2 CROSSFIRE C7 18 HOOD.

The vehicle started shaking like it was dying when the voltage dipped to low? I have never experienced that but I have a had my headlights go completely dim and I mean more then dim like (off). lol "Toyota Camry rebuild page 21 (link)http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183768-94-crossfire-camry-18s-walled-singer-alt-has-arrived-rebuild-starts-pg-10/page-21 PIONEER DEH-P8400BH 2 CROSSFIRE C5 1700D 2 CROSSFIRE C7 18 HOOD.

xxgokouxx Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Never in my life, nor would I want to experience that... At that point wires should be melting and components should be getting extremely HOT. I remember some dude tried selling me a 1000/1 v2, where he beat on it so hard that the terminal glued itself onto the wire. It was so bad that he had to cut the ground and power wires off to get it out of his car lol. Lowest voltage I've experienced, even in my Legend (which was my super beater) was maybe 11.8v. Which dimmed pretty bad as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
