Here's the details:
99' Blazer
Pioneer X3700UI Head Unit
Stock 110 Amp Delco Alternator
Autocraft Silver Battery
Big 3 Upgrade done with 1/0 welding cable
2 Kicker L5 12's (06L5S12)
Hifonics BRZ 2400.1D Amplifier running 2400w @ .5 ohms
My Kickers are dual 2's, so I can only wire to 2 or .5 ohm. Meaning I can't get 2400 out of the amp (it's rating at 1 ohm). I decided to say f*** it and wire down to half ohm. Now I know efficiency goes right out the window with .5 ohm, but I wanna know if that's OK because I'm not demanding 3-4k out of it like most people would trying to double their power at .5 ohm. I'm just trying to get 2400 out of it, which is its max rating at 1 ohm, so, 2400 at .5 shouldn't be too bad should it?
I've been blasting em for a good hour now, and the amp gets a bit hot, but nothing extreme, no voice coil smell, no distortion. My voltage doesn't drop below 12v. Is this ok?
