Beanz Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 dont do it.that amp may not like it being ran at 1/2 ohm.your electircal looks decent to support it. Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

ALPINE408 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 There is no way that electrical can hold up to 2 amps wired at half ohm and if the amps not rated for it.... It will in time fail I.e blow Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleD Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 dont do it.that amp may not like it being ran at 1/2 ohm.your electircal looks decent to support it. i called aq and they said it would be ok if my voltage stayed ok,,,and i didnt push it to hard for to long with out letting system recharge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loburbon Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 the aq amps are just like the m series amps from dd. they love .5 but you have to have the electrical to back it up. i have been running my m3's at .5 for close to 3 years now. they can handle it just fine. and yes that came straight from dd. they just wont warranty an amp that has been ran at .5 due to people blowing them up with not enough voltage Quote 2000 gmc yukon 4 sundown Zv3 15's 4 dd m2a's kenwood kdc-x994 2 batcap 4000's 1 batcap 2000 dual alts. 154@37hz and climbing http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3231683 http://www.myspace.com/torque150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew2944r Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I would run it @ 1ohm, have seen a few friends AQ's @ .5 go up in smoke. Quote Team Ampere Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
