.5 ohm or 1 ohm

[Crownvicon28s 10+ year member]

I know i posted this question awhile ago, but I need a final answer because Im about to order my subs. Should I run my Hercules @ .5 ohm or 1 ohm daily? Still a little confused I did a search and saw that people ran them this low daily with no problems. After box rise it shouldnt see an actual .5 ohm right? All help greatly appreciated guys.

what kind of electrical do you have to back it up? you will need something pretty stong to keep that amp going with .5 ohm. with that being said, i vote 1 ohm.

x2, why put unnessary stress on your amp? Herc is 2000w at 1ohm right? I cant see it having a huge power jump at 0.5 ohm.

Correct, thats another thing. With a Herc at 0.5ohm daily, I would suggest upgrading that 4 gauge.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

run it at 1 ohm for a good 15 minutes of ground pounding.... go give that amp a good feel.... if its pretty **** hot... got to 2 ohms.... if its still cold.... try again at .5 ohms... if you have the funds to easily replace teh amps... FUX it, run that bish at .25 ohms.

Ok. And the best kit is the lift kit that comes with the shocks and lift cups. The kits go from good (just the cups, 1'' to 3''), better (the kit that I have, 3'' to 5'') and best ( cups, shocks, a arms and extended trailing arms, 7'' to 10'')
