rockFord_Expedition Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) One makes 1,000 Watts into 2 Ohms. One makes 1,000 Watts into .5 Ohms. You have four DVC 4 Ohm woofers. Which amp will play louder with these woofers? Why? Guess #1: The one that you can wire to .5 because of rise. You will get more output across the frequency spectrum. As different frequencies are played the enclosure (well, most, right Kyle?..... too early? ) the impedance will change with the dynamics of music. If you are starting lower, it takes longer to climb. Guess#2: Is the amp that makes 1k @ 2 ohms stable at .5? If so, that one, wired to .5 Edited February 28, 2015 by rockFord_Expedition 1 Quote Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImaNoob Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Im still a newb but .5 has less resistance dosent it ? Ass long ass there isnt a heat issue ? so voltage going to subs would be higher in the .5 then 2 ohm ?

ImaNoob Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 cement obviously ..lol Quote 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Xs3400 1500BDCP FI BL 12 3sq @ 32hz Rockford t675 T400.2 Stinger Deadner Build Log Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 The one @2ohms cause when wired down to .5 ohms, Viola. 1 Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLEXrifleman Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 1000@ .5 since it will be a straight parallel install instead of a parallel and series to get it to 2ohms 1 Quote Rolex you sicken me.

Skullz Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 This has nothing to do with below rated, the question was which would be louder with amp A or amp B. Since amp B is maxed out @.5ohm, thats it. Amp A still can be wired down to .5 ohm which increases the power to the subs.
