D2 or D4 sundown. Specific question

[lhs2011 10+ year member]

Hey guys this isn't a vs thread as I get just as excited as you guys seeing them lol.

I have an audiopipe 1500.1 that makes 600rma at 4 ohms and 900 at 2. I have 4 gauge wire going to the amp and also have a 4 channel amp producing 55 rms each (its an AB class amp).

I think I want to go dual 2 ohm to run at 4 ohms to be more efficient and was wondering if I while go with an sa-10 or e-10 at that wattage.

Also do you think running at 4 ohms instead of the 2 ohms is a smart choice?

Thanks in advance!

Get a d4 sa10 and run at 2ohms

^^ i agree

Get a dual 2 run the ap at 1ohm and give the sa all the clean 800 watts that amp produces.

Is that ap 1500 1ohm stable? if so yea get a d2 sa10 n run @1ohm best chance to get clean unclipped power out of.that ap

it is 1 ohm stable, but its a power hog at 1 ohm... i have one and i need a 2nd batt running at 1 ohm.. volts dip down way too far for my liking, good thing it's a temp amp for me

Thats what i figured if it was 1 ohm stable it wouldnt be very efficient

yeah thats why i recommended running at 2 ohms.. alot easier on electrical with the ap

Alright so the efficiency isn't too bad from 2 ohms to 4 ohms? I just dont want bad voltage drops since I'm just using 4 gauge wiring and already have 200 rms from the speakers

you should be good at 2 ohms
