juan777 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 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 you will gain more than 1-2 tenths going from 1 ohm to half.... try 1 to 1.5db.....Also OP, I'm going to go against the general concensus and say do it . What I forsee happening is your voltage will drop below battery resting voltage and you won't be able to play or demo for very long. Worst case the amp's protection circuit (impedance or thermal) won't kick in when needed and you'll pop the amp. But the chances of that happening are slim if you're smart. If something is hot: turn it down. If something smells: turn it down. Etc. IMO if you're running an amp at 1 ohm you are not getting your money's worth. Yeah 90% of people won't agree with me but I'm just going off of personal experience. I agree to an extent. Let's say if you are below 150dB you'll gain more than if you were above 150dB. Past 153dB you're usually gaining in small increments unless your pockets are deep or you are a master designer 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?

alaskanzx5 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Silvarado over here, in houston, went from 53.5 to 55 flat by wiring down and adding more electrical to handle it. So he gained a 1.5 db from electrical upgrades and wiring down... Op doesn't have the electrical. Say he would drop to 11.8v wired @ 1ohms. Wire doe to .5 and drop to 10.5. What he could have gained by dropping doe went out the window with voltage drop. If you can manage to keep voltage at the same point or higher with wiring down I could see a gain. If dropping voltage more and faster your hurting yourself. Would gave been better to do the big 3 and upgraded stock Bart to an agm. 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.
