Quad Voice Coil 0.5 Ohms.
|
New member Username: DonshivPost Number: 9 Registered: Jun-05 | I have the Audiobahn Immortal 15" woofer. It's Quad 2ohm(2250 watts rms). I can hook it up to either 2ohm or 0.5ohm. The problem is I have an amp that is only stable at 1ohm 2300 watts. I want to get as much power as possible(I really don't want it at 2ohms). What can I do with this amp, and does anybody know of an amp that is 0.5 stable and costs around $300(2250 watts rms of course)? Please help. Thanks. |

New member Username: JrxPost Number: 6 Registered: Jul-05 | I would run a search on ebay for a US Amp. They have very high quality amps that hit very hard. They have amps that are 1/4 ohm stable! I've seen them on ebay before. If you are having money problems I suppose you could go with the Boss PD-2000. It is a 1/2 ohm stable amp at 1000x2 rms so but it is also a BOSS amp :-( Here is the link of ebay Buy It Now 199.00 http://search.ebay.com/Boss-PD-2000_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8QQsatitleZBossQ20PD-2000 |

New member Username: DonshivPost Number: 10 Registered: Jun-05 | The amp that I have right now cost in the $300. range. A3000db(Power Acoustik). I don't want any Boss amps because those are the amps that say 2000 watts and they're like 200(lol). Is it possible for me to run the 0.5 ohm hookup for the sub on the 2300rms 1ohm stable amp? |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8162 Registered: Dec-03 | why did you buy a quad coil sub? it's designed for being driven with multiple amplifiers.. one per coil or per pair of coils. you may want to buy another amp and put both on that sub to get the desired result. that or sell or return the sub to get a DVC version |

Bronze Member Username: Dr_sharpUSA Post Number: 63 Registered: Jun-05 | yea you could run two coils @ 1ohm and get two 1000WRMS 1ohm stable amps. |

Bronze Member Username: DonshivPost Number: 11 Registered: Jun-05 | I had a dual voice coil before and I heard it isn't healthy to put one amp to a coil. I did it anyway, it sounded good for about 4 months and then the sub finally stopped working. (Now for my Quad)Can I put two voicecoils at 1ohm and the other two at 1ohm(2 separate speaker terminals) and then join it together at the amp like this picture? |

Bronze Member Username: Dr_sharpUSA Post Number: 65 Registered: Jun-05 | wtf is that? if i understand it correctly it is still just putting them in parallel giving you a 0.5ohm load. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DonshivPost Number: 12 Registered: Jun-05 | So even if you connect the two 1ohm loads at the amp it will still combine to be a 0.5ohm load? |

|
Bronze Member Username: Dr_sharpUSA Post Number: 69 Registered: Jun-05 | you cannot get a 1ohm load with that sub. It's either 2ohm or 0.5ohm. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DonshivPost Number: 13 Registered: Jun-05 | Which do you recommend taking a chance with 0.5ohm or running it on 2ohms? |
|
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8188 Registered: Dec-03 | hey here's an idea!! ask the same question a few more times and see if you get the same answeres again!! then continue to ignore the advice you get!!! |
