Miguels Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 it was made to run at 1ohm so dont see how wiring at 1ohm is a waste.. with 1500 watts i even doubt he will be competing and will only be using it as a daily.. blowing the amp will be a waste specially if he dont need the extra wattage Quote 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...
Raptorman Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I see SMD is still stuck in the same mindset about wiring below 1 ohm lol. And yes, yes it was. 1 ohm reactive. It will do it all day. There is a difference between 1 ohm reactive and 1 ohm nominal. And you say 1500 watts, but he'll be lucky to see 800. Ohms law, quite a wonder, indeed. 2 Quote 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

I dont think no one is stuck on anything except trying to keep a person that most likely knows no better from frying their amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon15zzz Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Kind of off topic but my hifoncs hfi amps do .5 ohm daily. I don't see why a sundown wouldn't. Rise should be above 1ohm in most applications.

Bryan Feltner Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 IN my case and probably the OP's case he wants to wire to .5 ohm to get more power and to be able to use a quality brand amp. I've got dual 2 ohm sa-12's and to get more power than my 2 ohm stable only 1200 watt amps has I need to upgrade. Today most of the good amps Put out maximum power at 1 ohm. So running a 1500-2000 watt amp at .5 ohm to receive the power I need makes more sense than getting a 3500-4000 watt watt amp at 2 ohm. Either way your going to need to boost your electrical and it seems like such a waste of amp to run 2 ohm not to mention your paying twice the money usually to only use half of what you pay for. Seeing as people are doing this on a regular basis in large numbers nowadays I don't see why it can't be done if done correctly. Heck crescendo will warranty their amps at .5 ohm for $75 more Wish sundown did this also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 It's gonna sound like shit wired that low but if your electrical is up to the task it should handle it fine. I agree with Miguel though, if you need more power buy a bigger amp. I beg to differ sir. I have ran my saz3500's, saz2000's, and now my scv2000 at .5 ohms and not a single one of the setups sounded like shit. In fact the scv2000 at .5 that I am running right now has great sq and the woofer plays every note that I ask it to without issues. It gets lower than I could ever want and does not distort or stress at all. Just gotta know where to set the gains and count on box rise to get you into the 1-2 ohm range and it will sound just fine.
