Bakerman Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just a simple question. The AQ3500 is rated at 1ohm stable, and 2ohms with the amps strapped. Now, we all know that the AQ3500's can run at .5ohms, as long as you have a speaker that is strong enough to handle this. Now, what I'm wondering is if I strap two of them together, will it be safe to run them at 1ohm, or is there more electrical things that I'm unaware of that would cause this to be extremely dangerous?

Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshman6969 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 chode ran em strapped @1 ohm iirc Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

Bakerman Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah, i got some subs in mind that can handle the 4k rms, and I got enough power to push out the on the electrical aspect. I'm gonna be running three 320 amp alternators, so I think that would cover the 900+ amp draw I'm gonna have. Like i said though, the amps run by themselves safely at .5ohms...so i was just curious if they would run strapped at a total of 1ohm safely. I've got the alternators, amps, wires, etc...i just haven't ordered the subs yet. I just wanted to make sure that they would run safely before I place my orders and decide on what ohms to get my voice coils at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMI CUSTOMS Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) I run mine .5 ohm strapped when I burp ONLY!!! Still get some volt drop as seen in this video, now granted my xs batts had been sitting for like 3 weeks and were low, but still with the quad alt kit under the hood, 900+ amps of current out of the alts, still got some drop and they won't play music at .5 strapped, just burp.

THEKINGsBACK Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 chode ran em strapped @1 ohm iirc nick, also operated a 14 volt system charging at 16 volts... i wouldnt recommend it if you dont have that.. or a huge 12 volt system Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well it can be done even with as little as 2 D3100's and 1 D3400 and one 220 amp alt, I did for about 1 month competing, only went to two shows like that, but still they held together, you drop to 10.5 almost instantly tho...LOL Quote TEAM SOUNDQUBED -- TEAM SOUTH TEAM S.O.B. - Founder & Captain 3x Streetbeat World Record Holder 2017 MWSPL 1st place Mayhem & 4th Xtreme 4 2016 MWSPL 1st place Mayhem/2nd Adv 4/2nd Xtreme 4 2015 MWSPL 2nd place Mayhem & 4th Xtreme 4 2014 USACI 2nd place Streetbeat 5 - 162.6 db 2014 MWSPL 2nd place Xtreme 4 - 144.9 db 2013 USACI 1st place Streetbeat 4 - 161.9 db 2013 USACI 1st place Street Q+ - 162.8 db 2013 MWSPL 3rd Kaos2 & 4th Xtreme 4 2011 USACI 2nd place MOD 1001-2k - 160.0 db 2011 MWSPL 4th place: Adv3 - 157.8 db, Kaos2 - 150s db, Xtreme4 - 140s db 2010 ARSPL 1st place 501-750 - 160.3 db Arkansas loudest Best score to date 164.4 db - Termlab Outlaw Streetbeat 4 - 161.9 db Streetbeat 5 - 162.6 db MWSPL on Dash Legal door open (Music) - 162.5 db Sealed on dash Legal (Music) - 161.1 db - Termlab THE BLACK NASTY CURRENT BUILD & FAB The Black Nasty (6) 15 Rebuild Log 2012 (4) 15 Walled Sierra Build Log Evo X build log Facebook page The Black Nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
