Nikitaaa Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Nikitaa typically suggests for noobs to run half ohm and be smart about it. It works for him and fantastic, there is nothing wrong with his first hand experience. I won't suggest someone I DON'T know to run below rated impedance with shitty electrical. I don't want someone coming back and saying "you guys told me this would be fine and I fried my shit cause I'm stupid". I don't typically suggest for all noobs to run .5. Just the noobs that seem to have strong enough electricalto run .5.Also, whenever I do suggest it, I always let them know they're taking a risk and most likely going to have repercussions from that risk. (Voltage drop etc.) On that note, how many people have I advised to run .5 that came back complaining that their shit is blown? Zero. Shit it doesn't matter to me lol. Don't run half ohm and pay 2x more from the same wattage. I'llsay one more time. Use some common sense. even if I was a noob and my sub woofer started smelling, I would definitely turn her down lol Edit: for example, he has a 145 amp alt and an extra battery in the back. That amp will draw 250 amps MAX at half ohm. He will go through his 145 amps and dip into battery voltage. I predict no lower than 12 volts... that won't harm the amp. At all. I stand strong with the fact that I think his electrical is fine for a little 1500w amp at half ohm lol 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj11 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 in short man ( because there's more bickering then help) yes your amp can and will run just fine at .5 granted you have a electrical to back it up. if you're dropping into the 12s then no it's not worth it! right now I'm running at .5 and it's fine. when i finally get my second 1400.1 back I'm debating on just saying f it and strap at .25 even tho the actual load will be closer to .4 so no biggie. or do what i should and run each amp to each coil at 1ohm. not sure yet. jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are always full disclosure with your experience and you give the warnings. Just wanted to clarify that I didn't mean anything negative by my comment. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldeneye4564 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 i run a 750.1 at half ohm daily. i have two 270s and 9 batts. voltage is good. rebuilding now though, two 18s arent cuttin it anymore.

goldeneye4564 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Overkill electrical never hurts. Unless you start clipping. My voltage is never over 14.8 I RREEALLY ANGRY WIT U PHOTOBUCKET. HAD TO USE DROPBOX NOW HOLYYYYYY. Wanna ride bikes?

Miguels Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 i never understood why people want to run .5 on a 1500 watt amp.. for a few bucks more you can get a 2500 watt amp and run it safely at 1 ohm i wouldn't run .5 daily no matter what the only way i would is if i have the biggest amp there is with nothing bigger to be had and im competing for people wanting to buy small amps and run them at .5 to get a few extra watts why not just buy the next size amp? my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
