fritosaregood Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I started running my Sundown 3000 at .5 ohms a little over a week ago, and I figured I'd share my experience with performance in regards to temp of the amp. Subs: 2 dual 2 ohm audiopulse axis wired down to .5 Electrical: 200 amp alt, one kinetik 1800 under the hood and one kinetik 1800 in the trunk. Sealed box, 2 cubes per sub, impedence rises over 1 ohm at 18 hz and doesnt drop below 1.1 ohms after that. Gains on the amp are set with 50volume on the deck as max Before started I took the temp of the amp it was 62 F I started playin music on volume 40 for 8 minutes, then I turned it up to 50 for 13 minutes. Total test time 21 mins. I measured the temp of the amp again: The side with the power wired was 78.4 F, the side with the rcas was 87.8 F The A/C wasnt on, outside temp was about 55 F, amp is mounted on a board with nothing above it. Songs played during the test were: Chain hang low Paper Planes Remix This is why Im hot Lollipop Remix Watch my shoes 3 Peat The subs cone temp were both around 76 F With this said, I feel comfortable running my Sundown 3000 and .5 ohms daily.

fritosaregood Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) i am about to install a axis, in a ported inclosure tho. how do u like it? youll love the sub. Its been great for me. If you wanna have fun with it tune it around 25 and play some chopped and screwed stuff. It wont meter as high that way though. edit: I usually have mine ported, but it working on fitting both of them in my trunk ported. so i just sealed then up for now Edited April 7, 2009 by fritosaregood Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritosaregood Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Update: I decide to do another test, but this time with roughly half the power. Before i started the temp of the amp was 74 F I played music for 19 mins. The tempurature this time was 77.5 F on the power terminal side, and 84.8 F on the RCA side. Pretty much the same as the fult tilt test. So further conclusions are these temps seem to me regular operating temps at this low ohm.
