[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8418905, member: 614752"] [quote name='los33']3 D3100's from XS could hold up for a while on a daily, but that alternator would be stressing big time. [USER=614752]@hispls[/USER] If he could afford 100 batteries he would have just purchased the largest alt or 2 and add 2 large batteries. Running .5 ohm is not rocket science, the fact that he doesnt have the electrical is another thing. Most who ruin amps due to .5 ohm are either testing a new amp or an amp that has not been test at that ohm rating. OR they run them below voltage limit.[/QUOTE] Batteries and alternators aside, if his amp was safe to run at .5 ohm the manufacture would rate it for that. All the batteries in the world won't make driving 1/2 ohm less than 4X as strenuous on an amp as driving 1 ohm. Low voltage will make it worse, but let's not imply that adding more alternators and batteries makes loads under 1 ohm safe. [/QUOTE]
