should i worry about impedence rise with a daily set up?

[talon2nr7588 10+ year member]

ima be buying my amps soon, but what keeps getting me is will they put out rated power with impedence rise? my set up will be for daily and i will not be competing. should i even worry about impedence rise? i was thinking getting a kx2500.1 or zx2500.1 and run it at 2 ohm. then maybe later run it at .5 ohm and with imp rise it should around 2 ohms. what do you guys think? should i even worry about it?

if it rises up to 2 ohm, i bevliev it should be doing its rated power (prally more cuase those amps are underrated i thknk)

Don't try running a kx or zx2500 at .5 ohm daily, it won't do it, even with impedence rise.

If you are that concerned about impedence rise, run it at 1 ohm instead.

ya run is @ 1 ohm

my subs are dual 2 ohm.

Maybe a different amp? Well if you want to run it at .5 ohms. Depending on the subs(I dunno how much power they need or waht subs they are for that matter.) i would rather have it at 2 ohms.

i need at least 1500 rms per sub

Then get a bigger amp that handles 0.5 ohm

My 20.1's handle 0.5 ohms...lol.

but for daily, dont worry about impedance rise...That is unless your box is wild and causes the impedance to spike up to like 7 ohms. You will be fine.

What in a box causes impedence rise?

my box is 10 cu.ft. ported to 35 hz

You wont be able to audibly tell the difference in that 500W //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Just wire them at 2ohms and give them the 2500+ W RMS...in the end, it'll be around 2750W RMS...

i would like to know to!

 

[talon2nr7588 10+ year member]

i always thought that impedence rise went up more when competing, then when using test tones. since when using test tones it also draws more current, correct?

gnomes......tiny little gnomes with axes that add unwanted electrons to the circuit and make the imp. rise occur........

j/k....loooots of things make imp rise happen....

if you can get to 1 ohm you'll be set man wit a zx or kx, my kx fucing loves 1 ohm. with a lil imp rise im probly right around 2 oms or more but still getting enough power out of it daily
