baron_of_bass Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Anybody ever run one at 0.5 ohm? I'm about to order a pair of 15" fi Qs and don't know if should run a .5 ohm load or 1 ohm load. Can the amp handle .5 ohm loads? This is for a Chevy Colardo. I'm a little iffy because it'll be running off the stock alt. Leaving the original battery under the hood, and adding 4 XS Power XP750s. Using 2 runs of 1/0 for (+) from front to back, big 3, all that good stuff. My gut is telling me to run it at 1 ohm but I want to get the most out of the amp. Thanks in advance fellas Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Whalen Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 i currently am running it @ .5 and it hates it. it will work but if you get on it right away it will cut out into protect. i just slowly warm it up then destroy it. but it will turn on past 1/2 on my lc-1 with gain at about 2/3.

That's the answer I was looking for. I wanted to run it at .5, but I know the electrical I'll be using isn't the greatest. I'll stick to a 1ohm lead. I'm sure, my buddy won't notice the difference, i hope. Thank you for your quick responseWhat's your electrical like, and did you use a dd1 or oscope to set your gains?

Bayuk89 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 If it doesnt give a rating for .5ohm load i wouldnt run it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 If I remember Fi uses a D .7/D1.4 coil and call them D1/D2. So you would be down around .35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron_of_bass Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I went ahead and ordered some d1s. Yeah, their coils don't exactly read 1 or 2 ohms lol Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
