abervintageman42 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Why would the gains be cranked? Do you even know the input voltage he will be feeding it? If the gain is set correctly , there is no problem, no clipping. Read the sticky on gains, then read it again...Both of you . "that amp at 1 ohm is rated to put out 1500rms so the gain would be set relatively high" - This statement shows me how little you know... please pick up a book and learn. im assuming this would be on stock electrical so around 14.4 volts which is what they bench test the ap15001d right if i remember correctly so yeah the gain would be set relatively high which would more than likely be stressing the amp, wiring it down to the minimum ohm load and having the gains set high would definately not be the best thing to do but it is doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlo Stanfield Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Gains don't need to be set high to get rated power, I have no idea where you're getting that info from but it's incorrect. To the OP - It's a great dollar vs output amp and will do rated power @ 1ohm. So just get D4s and wire down to 1ohm daily and it will be perfect for those subs. For like $150+ shipping there isn't a better amp out there that's brand new. Quote 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride... QX56 is staying stock til I get loud...

EricM9104 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 CRANKED GAINS, exactly, the subs are rated at 750 rms a piece which would technically want to see 1500rms total but this alld epends on the box and such, and that amp at 1 ohm is rated to put out 1500rms so the gain would be set relatively high What the FUCK are you going about moron? The amp does 1200-1300w @ 1ohm... Gains set correctly and those L7 12"s would still get pretty loud... My AP-15001D pushes my Fi Q 12" just fine at 1ohm :fyi: Please elaborate as to WHY the gain would need to be set high? It matches the input signal on the amplifier with that coming from the head-unit.

Pretty much everything that you've said is incorrect and will only make things more complicated for the OP. If you don't know the correct information, then don't post something like this. If u need sum help man to learn things like this, ask around before you throw out ludicrous and very incorrect information. You can PM me or I'm sure many others on here would be more than happy to help u out. What you're trying to say is that because it's rated for 1500w @ 1ohm, then wiring at that ohm load will put much stress on the amp and getting the 1500w you'll need to crank the gains. If this was the case then every amp would be "stressed" when wiring it to the lowest manufacturer rated ohm load, which obviously is not the case what so ever. Seems as though you've never correctly set gains before or even have a real idea how to do so. Quote 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride... QX56 is staying stock til I get loud...

You are incredibly misinformed. There is nothing wrong with saying IDK and learning from someone who does. To the op this amp will work perfectly fine for what you are trying to achieve.

Decaf Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 jeez boyz settle look at it this way buy an amp that does 2000w and set gains for 1500 and it would be less "stressed" than a 1500 amp set for 1500 which struggles more...? a geo metro going 100 or a gini diablo going 100... the geo will be more "stressed" granted aber didnt word it right, hes got the right idea back to the op, that amp should be ok... but underpowerin them a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
