Going from 2ohm to .5

Trying to figure out how big of a difference I should see / feel going from 1ohm to .5 if any...

Setup is AQ2200D and 2 XFL12

Only one way to find out..

Just hope you have the electrical to support that .5ohm load.

What would the electrical load difference be? Sorry I see the title of my post says 2ohm but it is supposed to be 1 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

What ohm are you subs? If D4s you have a choice of 2ohms or 4ohms. D2s you can do 2ohms or .5 ohm.

Mo powa needs mo electrical. Low voltage at under rated ohm load is a bad idea.

The diff will pull juice like nothin , make sure your backin it correctly right now im in a 96 tahoe , stock alt and a yellow top @ .5 on an hdc4 18 and atomic at1600.1 and it drops pretty good still holds solid but my amp can play down to 10v so im good not a good idea but i know what im doin so im safe but make sure you have a stout electrical system to back it to save your behind , at .5 things heat up and break pretty fast if you dont know what your doin and coils will burn , oan distributing between more than one coil is better on the coils but like i said heat will be an issue

you definately need some type of voltage read out on your dash before you make this switch

its possible the amp will pull voltage down to single digit teratory and cook / possibly cook some car electronics as well

but

if you watching voltage drop at the dash when playing you can turn down volume a bit when it gets to the border line of un safe

He is correct ^^^^^

Make sure the volt meter is hooked up at the amp to know exactly where its at
