DD Audio and 1ohm load amps


vroom

Recommended Posts

Howdy. Been out of car audio for a while. Dont have much experience with all these class d 1ohm load amps, is this now a safe setup for daily driven/ listening vehicles? Reason for asking is im looking at maybe buying a DD audio mono amp to run my subs. It appears they have massive power but are all rated at 1ohm? I currently have 2 PPi a1200 amps but they take up alot of room and originally was going to make the switch to US Amps 2000x or something, but then noticed these DD amps. Any advice?

I don't know what DD amp you are referring to but yes 1 ohm is a thing now. I'm sitting at .7 Right now. The amp should tell you what it's stable at. That's for warranty purposes honestly. I wouldn't hesitate to run one lower (way lower) lol.

Sitting around waiting to be installed:

  4 FI X 10

 270 CES alt

D3400/73ah lithium

 AA 3800.1

  (2) AA 75.4

Wiring at a lower DCR will be less efficient, have less damping (not dampening), and requires more current to be drawn from the electrical supply due to less efficiency than at a higher load. The fidelity is not affected by wiring lower.
