I'd definitely try the amp @ .5. There's no reason to underpower those subs. They're worth WAY more than the amp anyway...

ok I will try it, but what kind of electrical to a need than? I have a 250amp fuse with 1/0 gauge wire, 12 v batt....

im runing d2's as well at 2Ω and i get 2.75Ω after imp rise

how did you measure that?

What kind of alternator and battery do you have? Surely you're not planning to use this equipment on stock electrical...

With a shity MM my good one i dropped and cracked the screen on it . might not be that accurate so maybe about 2.5 Ω give or take

"Note:

* If your speakers are capable of handling significantly more than your amplifier can produce, driving them with a clipped signal will not likely hurt them.

* If the speakers can handle 3 or 4 times the power that your amplifier can produce, there's virtually no way to damage your speakers (no matter how clipped the signal is).

* If your speakers are rated for the same power handling as your amplifier is capable of producing cleanly, driving them with a clipped signal for extended periods of time may cause speaker damage and/or premature failure.

* If your speakers are rated for the same power handling as your amplifier is capable of producing cleanly, driving them with a square wave signal for extended periods of time will likely cause speaker damage. "

thanks that helps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif because I dont plan on putting a shit load of power to them, I think running them at 2 ohms will be fine until i can either get a new amp, or alt and batt
