juan777 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 .5 for a daily is not recommended unless you are a seasoned vet who knows the risks and has proper electrical, usually not .5 daily though. 1 ohm is the lowest I'd go in my builds, I have done .5 for testing. Not that I think my amps can't handle it but simply because the stress and extra heat generated by the amp are not worth 1-2 tenth more on the meter. Plus your electrical is not up to par, run at 2 ohms till you get decent electrical and find some dual 1ohm or dual 4ohm subs. Upgrade your alt to biggest you can get: DC, Mechman, Singer. All good brands, DC charges a bit more but mine have never let me down. Singer and Mechman are very solid choices as well As for batteries, a big Group 31 will do fine with 2000watts and a big alt to charge it, XS, Crescendo, Kinketik etc Always overdo your electrical, people overlook that The L@zy Hoe 2005 Chevy Tahoe 2,500 Watts of Highs/Mids 4 10 midrange 4 6.5 midwoofers 4 Tweeters 6 Supertweeters 2 Lithium 80AH Batteries 24K Watts 4 Custom 18s Quad alt setup Rebuilt 250amp and 3 370s Interior work by Lone Star Auto Works The Build Log Like Loud Bass?

Souldrop Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah, if you have to ask, generally don't do it. I don't know why everyone and their mother wants to run at .5 ohms for daily. IMHO it sounds worse and it's not worth the added risk. You can gain some more watts, but at the cost of efficiency and added stress to the amp. You're electrical just isn't up to par. You might could get away with it for a bit, but when your amp fries you will know what caused it. edit: OP already made the right choice. 1997 Lexus ES300 HU - Pioneer MVH 7350 Processor - Helix DSP Front Stage - JBL P660C Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4 Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12 Sub Amp - Cactus Sounds PF300.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakin Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I seem to be a loner on getting as much power as I can at higher ohm-loads. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Souldrop Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I love higher ohm loads. I've played around with it and a higher ohm setup generally sounds better to me. The lowest I run is 2 ohms. Ideally 4. But saying that I don't think I'm a true basshead as I'm generally good around 1000 W for daily listening, and I don't compete. Even then I have to turn my RCA level down a few notches for bass heavy songs as I hate the rear view vibrating down. I need to man up. 1997 Lexus ES300 HU - Pioneer MVH 7350 Processor - Helix DSP Front Stage - JBL P660C Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4 Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12 Sub Amp - Cactus Sounds PF300.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'll be running 2 t1500.1bdcp at 2 ohms. I'll still get 3k rms with a better efficiency and dampening factor. Less power draw better sound. 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.

Souldrop Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 yeah love the bdcp amps. Have a 2500 running at 8 ohms currently. Sort of ridiculous, swapping the t1000 back in next weekend since everything will be out of the trunk anyway. 1997 Lexus ES300 HU - Pioneer MVH 7350 Processor - Helix DSP Front Stage - JBL P660C Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4 Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12 Sub Amp - Cactus Sounds PF300.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
