I am going to get a second SAZ-3500d to power my (2)18" Fi BTLs. They are D1 and i am afraid i don't have the electrical to back them up strapped @ 1 ohm. So I was wondering what the output would be running 2 ohms per sub? My electrical will consist of a 300A alt, (4) Odyssey PC1500's, Optima Red top under the hood, big three in 1/0, and (3) runs of 1/0. This is a daily set up and i play it loud as often as i can.

You have batts you have a h/o alt you have the big3...what more do you need. Maybe a BIGGER alt but you should be able to push that setup pretty hard with what you have.

you just might not be able to beat down for very long!

or just run one. because you would lose output by using two in that fashon. If im correct you would only get 1500 watts out of that setup. Whereas you would get 1750 out of 1 at 2 ohms.

see what everyone else has to say but i say runem!

My question is.... Should i run them at a 1 ohm mono load or a 4 ohm mono load (strapped)?

if you ran 2 ohms per sub, and wire it to the amp wouldnt that give you a 1 ohm load technically? I think you should be fine running it at 1 ohm personally with what you have just be easy on it

To get a 1 ohm load i would be running each amp at 0.5 ohm

You would be wasting your time getting a second amp unless you ran them @ 0.5ohm each. Two amps @ 2ohm each will do the same as a single amp @ 1ohm. I'm not familiar with those exact batteries but it seems like you have a very good electrical setup. Depending on the specs of those batteries you should be able to play of saz-3500s @ 0.5ohm just fine.

With those batteries and alt it should produce somewhere around 502 Amps. Does that sound like that will suffice? I am not too sure on the draw of those amps @ 0.5ohm.
