is it safe to run 3500d @0.25 ohms

Recommended Posts

can i get to nightshades dual 1 ohm, wire them dowm to 0.25 ohm and run it on my 3500d. i will have about 3 batteies and h/o alternator with 250 amp. in the testing jake did the resistance, and it rose to 0.67 ohms. which they can run @0.5 ohms, right?

Burps only - and only then if you have a known box rise at the frequency you are using.

i guess my main question is should i purchase 2 dual 1 ohm nightshade and run them at 1 ohm or should i get 2 dual two ohm and run them at 0.5 ohm. i would like the lowest resistance possible for a daily driver and box would be tuned around the same number above.

It wouldn't be a good to go any lower then 0.5 daily.

so @0.5 with a box rise in resistance, which will bring the ohms up, it is okay to do that in a daily. or should i just keep it @ one ohm to be safe.

I have seen a lot of people run them at .5 but if it was me i would just run it a 1 to be safe.

keep in mind if you run it below 1ohm you void the warranty, don't mean the amp won't do it just if it does go you gotta pay for the repairs

and remember your not gonna gain that much power by running so far below 1 ohm daily.... your ears will never tell the diffrance.

I'd just run it at 1 ohm. It will last a lot longer.

what if i decided to go with 3 fi bl or q's and ran them at .67 ohms before box rise, would that be okay. by the way they are the dual 1 ohm.

You can't count on box rise.... because the second you play a note below the boxes tuning the ohm load drops

run the amp at 1 ohm for daily.. don't count on box rise.. If your asking these questions you don't have enough experience to vary from the reccomended ohm load for the amp. buy a pair of d1's, wire to 1, feed the amp plenty of juice and enjoy..

**I'm not trying to be rude... I'm just saying.
