.5ohm on my bx1605d is it possible?

[coolahan 10+ year member]

Well I have a HiFonics BX1605D, obviously its a Class D amplifier so I thought it would be able to handle this but anyways if I got 2 15" type-r's but they were both 2 ohms and I wired them with series/parallel to make the load a .5ohm load, would my bx1605d handle that?

btw, I would be getting the type-r's from a friend and they are DVC 2ohm subs so don't just tell me to get dvc 4ohm subs and wire them to 1 ohm because i know that

thanks guys

would not risk it, get 2 dual 4ohm subs.

With the right electrical, its possible, But I doubt it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif WOrst that would probably happen is it will go into protect...

just get one more... you'll def need it with 2 15" Rs

.5 ohms for daily driving, no! just for burping purposes, yes it will do. by the way brutus at 2ohm should be plenty loud already, clean bass!

i have a brutus bxi1606d wired @ 2 ohm and its loud as hell

with tones i can get my roof flexing

That Hifonics amp wont take that low of an ohm.

hmm. Series/parallel of 2 dual 2 subs IS a 2 ohm load.

All parallel would yield a .5 ohm load before impedence rise(I don't know the DCR of the coils, it could be higher or lower actually)

If you do wire series/parallel, it's better to wire the coils in series and the subs in parallel. Wiring speakers in series introduces a slight phase variance ~35 degrees. It's better to keep the subs in phase(parallel) and each set of coils the same degree out of phase(series)
