Posted March 10, 200817 yr i was reading the .5 wiring thread a while ago and somethin hit me that i'm curious about.The opti2000d by lanzar is the only amp they have that is 0.5ohm stableThe Saz-1500d\3000d "used to" have 0.5 ohm warranty coverage until... well anyways.The opti2000d is 0.5 stable all day every day. Is this the case with SAZ amps as well or are they just lenient on below 1 ohm stability?The opti is the only class d amp i know of that is guaranteed to be stable at 0.5 ohms, so curious about this.
March 10, 200817 yr Are you 100% sure the Opti2000D is .5ohm stable all day everyday? This means, a long hard drive, without cutting off.Will the SAZ's run at .5ohms. Sure. Are they warrantied there? No.Fact is, .5ohms isn't good for the amp, any amp for that matter. It does shortin the life of em, same goes for 16+ volts.
March 10, 200817 yr Author oh yea, i'm certain.They are rated for it in the manual as that would be a sad mistake if they werent but for more info about them-I had discussed this amp before with some db draggers a long time ago over at termpro.When they were first the "big buzz" amp, the best price to performance ratio amp, there were people running them strapped at 0.5 ohms daily for some decent high rise installs and burping them at 0.25 strapped! I remember on one of these threads over there that 0.25 ohms strapped is very touchy with these amp which i imagine so, ....duh, hehebut, yea i know they are.Even CA&E did the test on this amp which said it put out just a little over 1900w at 0.5 ohms, resistor-wise. not with a sub on it.1,600w at 1ohm, can't remember the rest of the specs but yea, that's why i am wondering.

I never used a lanzar............ so idont know how the mmatts and lanzar stack up
March 11, 200817 yr Author oh yea!!! You are absolutely right! I forgot about Mmats! Well, now is possible by 2 amps.I've never used either.I've owned the opti2000d, beefy amp, but never powered it up. Sold it instead before i had a chance to play with it.
March 14, 200817 yr Admin Is this for competition purposes? If not, I would not try to wire below supported loads.
