[Twistid 5,000+ posts]

i just placed an order for a sundown 1500... i have an atomic ap/spl 12" ... rated @ 1000 rms... i plan to run it @ .7 ohms ...

think it should be enough? ive been told atomics can handle up to 2kw daily... of course the sundown wont put out 2kw, but ive been told that they get up to 1800ish below 1ohm

At 1 ohm with 12.4 volts you get 1510 watts.

At 1 ohm with 12.8 volts you get 1635 watts.

At 0.5 ohms with 12.8 volts you get 1890 watts.

Average those last two (0.7 is roughly half way between 0.5 and 1)... so around 1750 watts at a 0.7 ohm load with 12.8 volts supply.

Should be plenty to daily that sub.

he speaks the truth. If my Solid dies Jacob, I'll buy a sundown 1500, even if you're related to Simon Fuller

Either way Sundown has A+ customer service. The situation with my 1500D that went up in smoke, resulted in a replacement.

oh ya an they make power.

The AP/ SPL will not be able to handle the power that the SAZ-1500D puts out RMS. So the question should be can your AP/SPL handle the SAZ-1500D? See pics below.

2- 15" AP/ SPL's powered by 2 VFLs seeing less than 1500 watts each due to trying to hold on a 160 amp fuse for 30 seconds.

I beg to differ. I'm running my AP/SPL off from an IA 20.1 @.7ohm. I've had it hooked up now for over a month with no problem. Even after intense prolonged playing the AP shows no signs of failure. Just b/c your AP/SPL failed in your setup does not mean that all AP/SPL will fail.

Try 3 of them and they were not mine I have an APX. Three of them were smoked this weekend by some of my team members. But the APX handles two SAZ 1500's like its nothing.

gotta agree with kicker on this.......those atomics will take 1500-200w without breaking a sweat....if they blew up, sounds like wither a defect or user **** up....

Just giving my 2 cents everyone has there own opinion.

 

[Twistid 5,000+ posts]

will it be fine if my voltage drops really low?

i used to have a 81000d and it poped on me , im assuimg because my voltage dropped super low... i have stock electrical with no big 3 or anything... with a crusty old battery

i know its ghetto... it will be upgraded soon enough
