Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL My wangers b... Post Number: 1893 Registered: Mar-06 | I connected my PHD5000D at 1ohm so i can run both subs off one amp since my JBL BP1200.1 is being g@y... it only likes working in a single amp install...  somthing with the rca\input phase is screwed.. But i have this earthquake phd5000 ran at 1 ohm on my DD9515's and i put my old 200A back in for now and i have my kenwood doing like 400rms to my mids\highs so i am not sure what the phd5000 is doing but its getting pretty loud and sounds better then when both amps are plugged in togethor.. but my question is will this amp burn quick? anyone have expericience with running them at 1ohm... and does the temp. protection kickin before its to late or no? I have a redtop and a yellow top in my ride all on brand new kicker 0gauge and some brand new terminals and stuff. do you think i will have any problems powering the amp? its rated 3Krms\mail{2Ohm@14.5V,2Ohm@14.5V} |

Post Number: 1899 Registered: Mar-06 | Well it has been working..... and has all the protection features on it.. no problems yet. the company wont say it will work at 1ohm because they dont want to be held responsible... thats saying alot from earthquake.. i asked them before.. It sure is being mean to the subs tho... giving them a hell of a whoopin  |

Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 967 Registered: Jul-06 | Just watch it there, protection circuits only do so much. If it were my amp I would definitely not run it at 1 ohm unless I knew for sure it could handle it. With electronics, damage is not always immediately visible, for example the equipment suddenly stops working. Sometimes it can just shorten the lifespan of the equipment. But it's your amp, so you can make your own decision about it. |
