Amp help

[TruLegend]

I just bought 2 15 inch mofos with 2 ohm VC. I want to run them at a half ohm but I don't know what amp to buy. I was thinking a soundstream T1.6000DL but I don't really know any other half ohm stable amps. Suggestions?

Just get a 2 ohm class D amp. It's pointless to run @ .5 ohm especially considering how much more an amp will cost that will function properly at that low of a resistance. Way more options at 2 ohm.

Do you have any suggestions for an amp to run at 2 ohms then? I still want a lot of power to it.

.5 ohm stable amps off the top of my head are the soundstream amps you mentioned, lanzar optidrive series , and some mmats amps I believe. I know there are more but can't think of them at the moment.

Sundown

Ampere

D.C. Audio

Twisted sounds

Crossfire

American bass

The list goes on and on for amps that will run .5ohm

I run my ampere audio at .33ohm daily

I have been awake too long.....I am drawing a blank on good 2 ohm amps too.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suicide.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

The only thing coming to mind atm is the audiopipe apcl 3000.1d

Yea I know most decent 1 ohm amps will run .5 without a problem I was just trying to list the rated .5 ohm stable amps. I have ran the last 2 amps I have had at less than 1 ohm and they were cheap budget amps. Either way you have lots of options. I would just look around. You could grab a decent 1ohm stable amp and that would prolly work just fine running either .5 or 2 ohm depending on how much power you need and what the output of the amp is, or run 2 1ohm stable amps strapped at 2 ohms.

Taramp's.. You want 2ohm.. We got 2ohm all the way up to 10,000w.

I appreciate the suggestions, but these are extremely expensive. I want to spend money and sound good, but I can't afford $500 my limit is probably around $300. Slightly flexible. Sorry should have stated earlier. Looking for best balance of quality and price

I like the idea of 1 ohm stable amp, it's less expensive but I am super paranoid about blowing it too. Or if I ran 2 ohms with a 1 ohm stable amp my only issue is I know im not getting full potential

They say it's not recommended to run those below 1 ohm....?

You gotta budget OP?

If your worried about blowing anything, get the amp you want and set the gain properly to match HU voltage. Should be able to ride all day w/o any problems.

Live on the edge alittle bit. My amp says 1ohm min. And I run it at .33ohm daily

They get hot to touch? They don't shut down?

Get 2 of these https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_81646_Audiopipe-APCL-15001D.html

then run them strapped at 2 ohm. That is right about your $300 price range. Don't know if you have electrical to support 3k rms though.

How's he supposed to buy 2 if he goes that route when it clearly states 1 left in stock?

Well I wasn't meaning to buy them specifically from there but just wanted to show him the exact product I was talking about. That is funny though lol I didn't even see that. I use sonicelectronix cause it displays the greatest amount of details and specs. You can find those cheaper anyways from other retailers on amazon, ebay, or walmart. Usually run around $150. Decent sound from a budget amp. I was happy with mine for the short period of time I had it.

What if I were to get 2 1 ohm stable amps and run them separately with 1 speaker to each at 1 ohm?
