Need help with ohms for amps

[SunUpNeverdown]

yeah, so the 6.5 is a 2 way component set with crossovers (D4S-60/t25 level 1 pro audio combo). says 200w rms for mids and 50w rms for tweeters. the 6x9's are memphis prx6903 which say 60w rms each. all 4ohms. woofer is sundown u-d2 which is dual 2ohm 1500rms just one single sub. the 6.5 will be in kick panel, the tweeter probably in door, 6x9 below rear window and sd u-12 in a sealed box in trunk. deck is a pioneer deh-80prs.

Please take that awesome subwoofer out of that sealed box. It is bothering me that you would even do that to that subwoofer that did nothing to you but just try to make you happy. Lol! It’s bothering me even more that you would do that to yourself. Don’t settle for less. Push the envelope. Go with a ported box and get a taramps 3k and set the gains right and go hard like SUNDOWN wants you to. But make sure you are not clipping because even after rise, that much rms will finger fuc that subwoofer if it’s dirty...current. Lol! There’s a distortion detector in most of them taramps, so if you see that clip light, turn the gain back. Taramps makes it easy. And tune your amp at 3/4’s volume on your head unit and on a -3db 40 hz test tone off YouTube.

alright, alright... jeez (lol). If it will make that subwoofer happy.

Sundown U series subs are nasty. They are basically the sundown zv3s, which were the sh!t.

I just don't want to break my car. It's 55 years old, lol.

Stay true to sundown then and just get a Sundown SAE-1500d for the subwoofer and a Sundown SAE-100.4 for the miss and highs. That will be more reliable because it’s Korean built instead of Brazilian built (taramps) and it will pull less current and not hurt your car from too much punch. All you will have to do is get an extra AGM battery for the trunk, 120ah or 140ah and a big 3 upgrade. No alternator. You won’t be pulling much current. But with that taramps build you will need a high output alternator and it put wear and tear on your car faster because it’s more juice. Instead of cheap steroids from Brazil, just go with some creatine and natural bulk from Korea. That’s a little car so you might can just run the SAE-1000d and the SAE-50.4 instead with an 80ah or 100ah battery.

I'm running three Taramps amps on a 95 amp alternator in a 55 year old car. My voltage never drops below 13 driving around town. The SA-12d2 with the Bass1200 would be a good alternative. I didn't know Taramps were cheap steroids. They do rated at 12.6v, not the 14.4 ratings of other name brand amps. 12.6 is more realistic and attainable. $ .02

Why would you tell him go from a U series subwoofer he already owns to a SA subwoofer that isn’t as good that he doesn’t own? That’s telling him to downgrade. That’s absurd. That’s like when your boy is dating Jessica Alba and you tell him to dump her for Taylor swift. You are trippin, dude. And you have to drop below 13. My boy runs a 3000 rms sub amp and a 400 rms mids and highs amp on a stock 130 amp alternator with a big 4 upgrade and a 140ah agm battery and drops to the high 10s. So there’s no way you don’t drop below 13. Just when I was starting to accept you you go and say some sh!t like that. Crazy. And taramps aren’t bad amps. They are good bang for the buck. If I get another zv5, I plan on getting a md 8000.1 to run them. So I don’t have any problems with taramps. But sundown is better. That’s the point I was trying to get across. My saz3500 is rated at 3500 rms at 14.4 but does 4500 rms at 14.4. so they could of said the same sh!t taramps said and rated it at 3500 rms at 12.6 because it does 3500 rms at 12.6. But they didn’t say that because they don’t have to say sh!t like that to catch consumers. Sundown amps are tanks and can survive almost anything. Like low voltage and extreme heat. Taramps will tap out under rough conditions where it has to work hard. I still like taramps and would run them. But I would rather run Sundown. The only reason I would go with a taramps 8k if I got another zv5 is because to get a sundown 7500, I would have to recone my zv5 and buy another zv5 plus a $1400 amp used from amplab or $2000 new. I would spend over $2500 if I shop with amplab or over $3000 if I go new when I could spend less than $1300 that if I choose a taramps 8k. An 8000 watt amp for $450 is cheap. Not saying it’s crappy, because it’s most definitely not, I’m just saying it’s cheap. Sundown are more reliable and better built. Them Korean boards are champs. Brazilian boards would tap out in the fight. And I know when most of the guys that run them big ass 12k and 15k taramps are gonna blast me like a black dude at a kkk meeting when they see this. Lol but fuk it. Black life’s matter lol! And Korean is better than Brazilian.

I was just planning on running everything off the deck, if that works.

But if it was me and I had that subwoofer and your set up I would run a Sundown SAE-2000d and a SAE-50.4 with a stock alternator, big 4 upgrade with the largest AGM battery I could afford for the second battery in the trunk. Data Safe makes good batteries for cheap. They don’t flat out say they are AGM batteries but I assure you they are AGM batteries. Look into the hx series. Get the data safe hx540 for $280 and call it a system.

Why is it so hard to believe? I'm running a MD3K, DS800X4, and DS250X2 on a 95 amp alternator. It hit 143.8 with the car off in my garage. It hasn't even been tuned yet. The Sundown SAZ1500 did just over 1,600 at .8 ohms and ove 14 volts. The MD1800 does about 2,300 at 12.6v. So, you are telling him to underpower the sub, that's all. And, no, my voltage doesn't drop below 13, unless my car is turned off. 4.050 rated watts and a 95 amp alternator. Old cars don't have a lot of electrical going on. No computers.

What do you mean running everything? I thought you wanted a 4 channel amp too? Are you talking about running your mids and highs off your deck? I’m confused.

The saz-1500 wasn’t putting out good numbers. That’s one of the only amp’s sundown has ever put out that doesn’t run crazy high numbers. And dynamic burst is pointless and will never be reached or seen in that amps life.

 

[SunUpNeverdown]

I wasn’t trying to be funny. And I’m now guessing you are talking about running all the equipment off your head unit without any external crossovers or whatever, right?

Are sundown amps better than fosgate power series amps?
