Is it worth running 2 15s?

[Irocthestreetz]

I'm running a soundqubed sq2200.2 at 1ohm on a single 15" soundqubed hdc3 and I'm thinking of throwing in a nother hdc315 and running the amp at .5 ohm but would I be wasting $400 (sub+box) for not very much more output? I've never dropped below 11.8 full tilt after minutes at idle, usually I hang around the high 12s with the stock 160 amp alt but will it fry it if I try and run it with my amp at 0.5 ohm? I'd like to get a sizable amount of additional output until I purchase a new car sometime later this year but as I probably won't transfer my system over I don't want to be spending to much on new equipment. Thank you

If your already dropping to 11s that's not good... But yes get another woofer and wire to half ohm and then adjust gain accordling so you stay 12v and above until you can get extra batt or a HO alternator... If you add another woofer and go down to .5ohm and get your electrical to handle it you will see a nice gain in output

It would add some more output, might have to add a little more to your electrical, but if your not gonna transfer it over to the new car dont waste it, just enjoy it. then when the new car is yours you can add something else or change things around etc...

No, and you control the output, and therefore amperage draw.

Upgrade the alt before you do that so you don't have to buy a new amp as well. But 2 15 will be louder than 1 15

I thought staying in the high 11s was considered ok? If I throw in a couple new agm batteries should I be okay on not frying anything? I originally wanted to put in a ho alt but I don't want to put to much money in this car if the equipment isn't transferable or to sellable

Planning on buying a new car late this year so I'm not wanting to put any money into it that I can't get back at all

I don't like seeing 11v on my own system so I don't recommend it to others... Battiers last like 5years and then your out your money.... Alternators pretty much last forever... So you can remove the alt and sell it and recoup some money. HO alternators are good investments of you ask me. You can sell them years later for acouple Hundo less then you bought... Can't really sell battiers 10years later... Just saying alittle food for your mind

I definitely agree on buying a ho alt would be the best route to go power wise but I honestly doubt I could sell a $750 singer alt for $600+ In resonable time but I can get 2 interstate agm batteries for $100 bucks and if I can't sell those latee on then it is what it is. Just trying to do whats somewhat cost efficient for now as I want to mainly focus on my muscle car but I'd like to get a little more output from my DD rig I'm happy what I get from one 15 but I don't want to have to max it to get the air flowing.
