sundown saz 1500 .5 ohm

[atlninja82]

i just ordered DD 2510's but i told him not to actually call dd and have them made untill i figure out if i wanna run them to a 1 ohm load or .5 ohm. I have a sundown saz 1500 and i have an iraggi 260 amp alt, an optima red top, and a kinetic hc2400 with the big 3 done all in 1/0. i figure after box rise even wired at .5 ohm it will be over 1 ohm anyways so do you guys think this is a good idea or should i stick to 1 ohm? and how much power will it put out at a half ohm?

thanks,

-eric

The decision is up to you but I can tell you that amp will run just fine @ 0.5ohm with that electrical.

Yeah, that amp won't have any problems at .5Ω. Here's a link to some tests that were done on it a long time ago. It did 1890W at 12.8V at .5Ω. Very impressive.

how bout u learn efficiency and just get a bigger amp and run at one ohm.

[F1rtyfwe]

itll run just fine with your electrical

what do you mean "learn efficiency"?

cool ill check it out. thanks a lot

was that with box rise calculated ?

Nobody should worry about impedance rise in a daily scenario cause it is not constant. Reactive impedance varies with frequency. If you must run the amp @ 0.5ohm your electrical will support the amp just fine regardless of impedance rise.

You'll have less current draw getting 2000w from a saz-2000d @ 1ohm than you will getting 2000w from a saz-1500d @ 0.5ohm.
