Benji0687 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I need to know whether or not my mtx 1501d amp will be stable to use daily at 1 ohm. I'm going to be running all 1/0 with a yellowtop under the hood and a kinetik batt in the back, so power wont be an issue. i'm gonna hook up two Pioneer Premier W3000SPL (dual 4 ohm) subs in a ported box. Any help would be really appreciated! 1989 Chevy Caprice Classic350ci V8 High Performance JVC Arsenal HU JL XR series components Infinity Reference 6x9s Pioneer Premier 4-Channel Clarion 2-Channel Rockford Fosgate Series 1 2-Channel Fusion 2000.1D MTX Crossover RF, Knu, Kicker, and Monster wiring NVX VCW 12in.

Ernesto Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Is it rated @ 1ohm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 its rated for 2ohm, people run them at 1ohm and swear they will be ok, 80 percent blow, if you wanna chance that 20 percent knock yourself out. It is NOT recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji0687 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I know its only rated at 2 ohms, but i didn't know if it could handle the lower ohm load. how would you guys hook up two dual 4 ohm subs to that amp? any help with this is really appreciated. 1989 Chevy Caprice Classic350ci V8 High Performance JVC Arsenal HU JL XR series components Infinity Reference 6x9s Pioneer Premier 4-Channel Clarion 2-Channel Rockford Fosgate Series 1 2-Channel Fusion 2000.1D MTX Crossover RF, Knu, Kicker, and Monster wiring NVX VCW 12in.

[/quot I know its only rated at 2 ohms, but i didn't know if it could handle the lower ohm load. how would you guys hook up two dual 4 ohm subs to that amp? any help with this is really appreciated. with two d4s you can only run that amp at 4 ohm and that's only 750rms x 1 at 4 ohm. so not much juice. you can wire both subs in series and have them running at 8 ohm apiece and bridge them to 4 ohm together. see if you can get some D2s. 2-DC 15XLM2 D.7s 1-DC 5K amp (1) XS Power D6500(UNDERHOOD) and (1) XS3000(REAR) 3 runs 1/0ga for power and 2 runs of 1/0ga for negative.
