1point21gigawatts Posted April 13, 2020 Report Posted April 13, 2020 I’m running a zv5 15 on a saz 3500 and a sax 100.4 on 4 6.5” and 2 super tweeters with 2 of the 6.5”s through a passive crossover. Each door is see like 100-125 rms. My voltage is good. I’m thinking of getting another zv5 15 and running the subs on a sundown 8k. Would that be too much lows for the mids and highs and muffle them out on certain notes?? I have another option to just keep the one zv5 and put it on a salt-4 instead of the saz 3500. I need advice and opinions. Thanks abunch! “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.”

1point21gigawatts Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Posted April 13, 2020 I probably have double up in mids and highs to run at 2ohm to feed 200-250 rms to each door if I wanna run 2 zv5s on an 8k. So, yeah... I’m probably just gonna go with the salt-4. I’m still cool with advice or options if anybody is tryin to throw any at me... “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.”
1point21gigawatts Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Posted April 13, 2020 And I’m thinking the salt-4 might push that zv5 to its mechanical limits because it puts out almost the same exact numbers as an Orion hcca5000.1dspl and I seen that amp making a zv5 12 on YouTube make mechanical noises because it was getting pushed to it limits and dude wasn’t no amateur so it wasn’t clipping. Both amps put out a little more than 6000 rms at 1ohm and a little more than 8000 rms at 0.8ohm. So idk. I might stay where I’m at and wait to double up on mids, highs and zv5s all at the same time. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.”
Dragonsyph Posted April 13, 2020 Report Posted April 13, 2020 I been loving the clip light on the salt 4 knob, I love how you can get max output up to clipping on each song by just watching it and adjusting according. Was able to up the gain a small amount knowing I have that control. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA
AaronT Posted April 13, 2020 Report Posted April 13, 2020 Yes I miss my punch amps because vof the clip knob.
1point21gigawatts Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Posted April 13, 2020 But I’m nervous now about putting the salt-4 on my zv5 15 because of its crazy output. I wouldn’t be clipping though. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.”
1point21gigawatts Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Posted April 13, 2020 Once I seen them salt amps, I got a mental boner. They are bad ass. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.”
1point21gigawatts Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Posted April 13, 2020 It puts out 8000 rms at .8 ohms and that’s about where dual 2 ohm zv5s rest at and even after box rise its still is gonna be up there. Do y’all think it’s worth the risk? If I blow the subwoofer all I have to do is pay like $150-$200 and get a new one instead of a recone. If I pay for the recone and shipping if the shop doesn’t have one in stock then I get the subwoofer. Would y’all get the salt-4 to put on a zv5?? “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.”
