.5 more power than 2 ohm?


Recommended Posts

i have 2 15 dual 2 ohm(1500wrms) pushed by a kicker 2500.1

each sub is getting about 1400 wrms!

also getting a .5 ohm stable amp of course!

*if i was to wire them down to .5 ohm would i be able to give them more power?

*^^*also will you give me some examples of amps that run at .5 ohm 3000wrms or higher!

As long as the amp is stable at that ohm load, you have the electrical to back it up, and it's rated higher at .5 ohm than the kicker at 2 ohm. Then yeah it'll be louder.

you culd but i wouldnt try it unless the amp is .5 ohm stable

He said he was going to get a .5 ohm stable amp to replace the kicker with. Or well that is how I am reading the post. Also I use to have a zx300.1 and I ran it at .5 ohm load without any problems except the amp getting rather hot pretty quick.
