2 dvc 2ohm subs wired to a sundown?

[mr.michael 10+ year member]

hey i need some help real quick, i need to know the best way to wire my 2 dvc 2ohm subs to my sundown 3000d. they are auidopulse axis 15s. they are 2500rms. i do plan on getting another sundown but for now its beside the point. i was told by what i think is an idiot, that i could only wire them at 4 ohms? which is not gonna happen. anyways.... post away posters

Series-parallel? Would give you 2 Ohms.

Unless the amp is .5 Ohm-stable, then 2 Ohm is the lowest you'll get safely.

so that wouldnt be to bad eh? when the amp gives 1600 watts at 2 ohms eh?

i have seen these, but if i have these subs at half ohms, does that mean my amp needs to be at half ohm to?

The amp has no say in this matter.

If you wire the subs to .5 ohm - that's what impedence your amplifier will see.

You can either run them at .5 or 2ohm.

At .5 the Sundown will be fine, as long as you're not a dickshit running it on a near stock electrical system.

hmmm, i c. thanks dude. so since i do have a .5 ohm stable amp i can run these at .5 ohm safely for daily? i dont drive much but still.

hmm, ok yes. i am understanding. i am newish so this helps out. now, if i were to run my subs at 2 ohms each i belive they will see roughly 1600 watts each if im right. now if they are ran at .5 ohm each, what kind of power would they see? i dont wanna hurt my babys by giving em to much power? p.s. dickshits one of my favorite words...
