I would think that it is a risk for daily driving. 1/2 ohm is a lower impedance than what most amps should operate.

I'm hoping imp rise will get me close to one ohm. couple tenths shouldn't matter should it

wire the subs in series for a 2ohm final load like the guy said. you have 2 d2 subs right? and then strap the amps

 

[jbizzle 5,000+ posts]

Thats my plan, but for the time being I wanted to put them @ .5, I wouldn't want to split 1300 between the two.

oh your talking about running the one at .5, until you get the second one, oh ok.

yep, I need another run of 1/0 and a battery first.

I have asked the same question, it is not recommended but the amps are very solid so I would not be surprised at all if you could do .5 ohm nominal load, after rise you will be over 1 ohm anyway.

really?

You just laid that out as if it's fact...

There's a reason why companies state that a sub is called Dual 2 ohm for instance even though it may be dual 1.4...

This is to guarantee that the rise will not fall below the stated load..

So, wired in parallel would give a 0.7 load and this is to state that at no time will your impedance curve fall below the 1 ohm threshold.

Now, wire 2 of those together, that's 0.35 ohms with a guarantee that it wont fall below 0.5 ohms.

That doesn't mean it will not fall below 1 ohm.

I've had 0.9 ohm loads fall down to 1.6 ohms before. That's a 78% increase.

What if that happened to the OP?

A 78% increase at 0.35 ohms is 0.62 ohms... far far below 1 ohm.

Don't ever assume something like that will just "happen" when on the other hand, the consequence can result in damage.

lol if theres anything to do with aq u bet dj will be looking.

Just a little update, everything is installed and after rise i'm @ .9-1 (floats) Amp runs great, doesn't even get hot and its getting over 13v constant.
