WaTTz305 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 The amp shouldnt be burning hot that fast running at 2 ohms like its supposed to, i do not know if he had a warranty but that would have helped. He will have an amp that should woek, but at that price, personally i donth think i would do that. amp will sound cleaner and have more power guaranteed.

teamace24 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 everyone has their opinions Im not trying to dump on your purchase but i am speaking from experience. A couple of hundred watts will not be noticeable, guaranteed. Im just sayin your amp at 2 ohms is good, unless you wired wrong or maybe it was just a bad amp. The fosgate you bought will be better if you ran it at 1 ohm and get all of its power. 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abaddon Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 My dad is probably the biggest douche ever. He told me spending that much on a used amp is stupid because I'm fucked if it doesn't work.
