any one know what i should set my saz-3000D for at 1.5 ohm's?

or just set it for a 2 ohm load?

What are you talking about. What subs do you have?

What subs and how many of them will determine what Ohm load your amp will be wired to.

Set what?

Nowhere near enough information ....FTL!

There isn't an ohm setting on any amplifier. A lot of people new to audio get this confused. There are only a limited number of ways you can wire your woofers that determine the ohms load. Which ever load you prefer/need to get the desired power to your woofers is the load you choose from the few choices. We need to know the number of woofers and their coil type/ohm rating.

Think of it this way. You have a bad ass car (your amplifier), but you hook up 4 tons of dead weight behind it (4 ohm load) its going to slow the car down. Or in the case if your amplifier, it won't produce a lot of output power. Well if you lower the load, the car goes faster (amp puts out more power). If you don't have enough load, your car will break loose and you will end up in a ditch. (You're amp will get damaged)

Although people run sundowns at 0.5 ohms daily, they have a good/great electrical system (or they should). If you're electrical isn't special, stay at/above 1 ohm.

Also, this question has nothing to do with the saz 3000d. It's a general amplifier question.

Seting the gain, I run a saz-3000d just got a FI Q D1 wired in series, it comes out to 1.5 ohm load, there is no info for this ohm load for this amp.

If it's dual 1ohm wired in series then it's going to put a 2ohm load on your amp. So your saz-3000d will do ~1600watts if your electrical is sufficient.

this is how you need to wire your woofers.

I don't need the wireing dieagram..... and the FI Q has .75 per coil so it does come out to 1.5 not 2.

dc resistance != impedance

your final load is two ohms

TY thats the answer i was looking for. sundownz told me to ignore that and just treat it as 2 ohm's.

Your nominal load is 2 ohms... the 1.5 is your DC load which is not important.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ << his reply to my stupidity.

best question ever

i just hope the new setup is going to be as loud as my old set up.

your gonna run a single Q on a saz 3000d?

at 2 ohm's, also has cooling and spider.

Goodbye Q.

the Q will be just fine. don't be so negative.

Goodbye Q.

probably. 1500w is too much for a Q.

ill trade you a 1000w amp you can actually use for your 3k.

the cooling should add 200-500 watts of power handling and it will still be set at -1db to -3db on the sub channel after its all set and done, and i can control my use of the vol knob.

i wouldn't trade my SAZ-3000D for my left nut.

good luck with that. im pullin for ya!!

ty ty, after i redo my trunk and get my new 1/0 wire in i will post pics and maybe a vid if my camera is not failing.
