To run at 2 ohms daily or .5 ohms daily?

[bunkerking09 10+ year member]

Well my Z1 will be here tomorrow and i'm getting all the wiring prepped tonight, i have two choices to run it at either .5 ohms or 2 ohms daily. I'll have a pretty good electrical behind it, two yellowtops and eventually a new alt.

Bench tests show that at 2.3 ohms it pushes about 4461, at 1.15 ohms, 5358, so i can only imagine what its power at .5 ohms would be.

I'm throwin all this at a pair of 9510's, so i think they can take 2200 apiece, whats your guys opinion?

I guess you can do 2 ohms daily, .5 for burps

the Z2 is a sick amp, but more than i need. I'll never run anything more than 2 10's in my truck. I'll also be adding another blue top later

If your electrical consists of only 2 batts, you're going to need a lot more than that to run it at 0.5

3 batts total, theres also the one up front, but it will be 4 batts soon

i would go with 2ohms, 4kw is plenty of power. and you will be fine doing street beat at 2ohms for 30secs. if its the same street beat im thinking of you just gonna need a 139.9 correct?

Just as everyone else has said, you are definitely going to need a substantially larger charging system to run that z1 .5 ohms daily.
