8Deuce Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I've decided to keep it kinda simple & go w/ 2 DC LVL5 15's. My amp is a HiFonics Sampson. My question is- What coil configuration should I go with? Dual 1ohm, dual 1.4 or dual 2? After talking to Rusty, I'm aware that the LVL5's can take alot more than their rated 2000rms. I'm just not sure exactly how much more. Therefore I was thinking maybe I should change the coil configuration so that the amp isn't pushing so much into the subs. My amp's specs are: 2600x1 @ 4ohm 4500x1 @ 2ohm 8000x1 @ 1ohm (approx. 6500x1 @ 1.4ohm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedchild420 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Get 2 DUAL 2's to be safe and run em @2ohm's or say fuck it and get 2 Dual 1's!!!

thorshammer Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'd go with dual 2's and run the amp at .5 daily. Those amps are current hungry. Definately likes a stout electrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I would do Dual 1.4s and wire to 1.4ohm not for the sake of the woofer but for the sake of the amp. Keep efficiency up and the amp cool or i'll see you posting another thread "What amp for my level 5s?" in a few weeks. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

8Deuce Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Get 2 DUAL 2's to be safe and run em @2ohm's or say fuck it and get 2 Dual 1's!!! That was my plan but I believe that'd 8k on the 2 subs & be too much daily for them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorshammer Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 The amp is only stable to 1ohm Homie. After box rise and such I'm sure it would operate just fine. You are correct though. That is whats stated in thier specs. As far as 8k daily I'd guess that after all elements are in place you'd prolly see no more than 5-6k and the lvl 5's can hadle that no prob.

The A Team Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have heard the Sampson amps dont like daily use, but if its for burps you want i say drop it as low as it will go!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that once from maybe one source & everyone else who says it heard it from the same place. I personally don't know many people that run 8k amps as daily. Everyone in my area is like- Naw man, thats too much power. You don't need all that power. Just get you a 2k amp & some Kicker L7's & beat the block down... LMAO.
