CleanSierra Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I run half ohm daily on an amp that puts out 5-6K and I don't have much $$ invested. I also beat the shit out of my equipment daily, for extended periods of time. I don't see the validity in either argument you're making. Suggesting got a guy that is about to wall his vehicle to run his amp at two ohms is like telling a dragster to "keep it in second gear". Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

bighossf150 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Lol, so you are saying I would have been better off running 4 amps that put out 3500W at 2ohm each than my 4 doing 3500 at .5? Do you have any idea how much that shit would cost compared to what I paid for my amps and electrical? It's almost always people with a little bullshit 2kw system saying to do stuff like that. Used to have a loud truck 2009 Corvette Z06, H/C/I, 150 shot, g force tune, 730rwhp/690rwtq 2013 F-150 limited, MPT Tune, leveled on 35"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainStryke Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 This is your most cost effective .5OHM stable amp. http://www.droppinhzcaraudio.com/sound-magus-vs3500-1-high-performance-class-d-5-ohm-stable-mono-bass-amplifiers/ According to the AD-1 dyno, it got 3930w @ .5OHM on the certified test with 1% distortion and 13.95V.

Do you have any idea how much that shit would cost compared to what I paid for my amps and electrical? It's almost always people with a little bullshit 2kw system saying to do stuff like that. Explain to me how the amount of wattage a system has, has anything to do with someone running their equipment smartly rather than try and squeeze every little thing they can out of it? Absolutely nothing. So thank you for the uncalled for attempt at an insult, but I'll stick to the efficient way to keep the electronics I like safe and efficient and producing the exact same power you'd be getting if you had an amp that put out 2k @.5 SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CstrokerV Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ill eventually get a dc 10k to run at 2 ohms lol maybe some day no extra money anytime soon lol my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggesting got a guy that is about to wall his vehicle to run his amp at two ohms is like telling a dragster to "keep it in second gear". The validity is the term of life for equipment that is being stressed with heat and pushing everything it can for extended periods of time over and over, versus the term of life for equipment that doesn't have to work as hard to make the same power, doesn't have the heat from drawing more current than it was designed for and being pushed to do more work than it was designed for. And that comparison is apples and oranges. Not even close to each other unless the dragster can win in second gear as he can in 4th or 5th or 6th depending on the car. Because you can get the same exact power from an amp that makes it at 2ohm compared to an amp that makes it at .5ohm.

reedal Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Anyways op, the point I was making originally is you shouldn't wire under 1ohm. It is more stressful to the amp over time. I personally like my equipment to last as long as possible, without having to repair it. And if I don't want it anymore, it still works and I can sell it for a decent price. So my suggestion is run at 2ohm if you buy two more D4's. Or, sell your two D4's and buy four D2's and run your amp at 1ohm.

That is also an option. And one that is probably cheaper than a single amp at 2ohms. Just remember that they must be gain matched, and if you use the filters on the amplifiers they should be matched as well.
