Aq2200 @ .5?

I don't think you understand what your saying.

Yes I'm aware lol. I would trust running like an M2 at .5 daily way more than this 2200 though.

Ran my aq @.5 all day long no problem. Set off car alarms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I wouldn't say that really. Each and every application is different. I have seen several 2200's and 1200s fail when ran at .5 ohm with over 12.5 volts. There is much more to it then just current draw as well.
Personally and from a company(meaning when I was at AQ..and still now) stand point, I do not recommend it for daily what so ever.(even if you do have a great alt and a ton of batteries)

PS- Shouldn't you (the OP) be changing my logo right about now? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sneaky.gif.7189749b3a3f769e8815b47e8ae87f88.gif

even after rise? i've been told the power supply's in the aq can handle .5. what about .67 daily? thinking of 3 dual 4's

With proper electrical you should be fine. After rise you should be over 1

I still actually don't think you get it yet. That statement says other wise lol.

You all do understand that when playing music your ohms do not just rise but fall as well right? I know it has become a standard on this forum and a few others to buy smaller amps and then push them far past their limits to save a few bucks and because it is the "cool" thing to do. However does anyone actually understand the ohm curve at all?

This happens every so many years. When a few people start posting like crazy about running their amps below the rated ohm level. It starts with burps in the lanes then leaks to the daily guys. Then you get a few people saying its ok I did it...or I read about it all the time. No application is the same and won't act the same. What worked for one even if wrong won't work for everyone and can very well damage the amplifier.

There is a very good reason they are rated for 1 ohm.

That is understandable and is true in many ways. Only way to say for sure is try it.

but the impedence cannot go lower than the nominal load? so the dropoff would have to be from the reactive load which i would use mine as an example. 3 . to see 1 ohm again i would need to drop 2 ohms witch lets face it. isnt happening.
