no. Those amps are to crapy. If you got money do your self a favor and get the xxv line

I had 3 BX1605Ds and they got hot as hell @ 1 ohm. You honestly couldnt even touch them without it being painful.

you've never had a successful install if you havent noticed.

even as one of your buddies has said before, "its the man behind the volume controls", not the equipment in regard to your btl install.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

they'll run at 1 ohm no problem, but do not go any lower.

my buddy chewie has a brutus the 1200wrms one and it is ok but does get pretty hot @ 1 ohm

All my installs were just fine, only problem was I wasnt running my equipment like I should.

The Hifonics amps for instance got hot. Never shut off or went into protect, just got very hot.

The BTL setup... The Sundowns @ .35 didnt get anywhere near as hot at the Brutus' @ 1 ohm.

In my Mustang I had a JL 1000/1. Got pretty warm after really beating on it, but never any real problems.

Equipment works differently in different scenarios.

well imna be getting 3 12" 187s in a couple of days and there D2 so it would be running at 1.34ohm what should i see out of the amp i know i wont get the 1600rms at 1ohm but will i atleast get 1400?

 

[galacticmonkey 5,000+ posts]

Well its a little overrated anyway, so Id say a good 1,000rms. Maybe a tiny bit less.

If you have a D2 sub do you have to run the sub at .5 ohms? or at 2? Can an MTX TA 7801 run daily at .5 ohms..? Thanks!

if you just have one D@ sub then you can run it at 1ohm, or 4ohm if its 2 D2 subs then its either 8ohm, 2ohm, or .5ohm

the 1605d's do tend to get a lil hot at 1ohm but the newer 1606d's will stay cold at 1ohm...even when put through abuse from a proti 15..
