Posted May 9, 201312 yr Im going to be running my amp at half ohm what should I take into consideration. Amp is bc3500
May 9, 201312 yr dont wrench on itmake sure your voltage is top notch so it doesnt burn up. hopefully more people have some input
May 9, 201312 yr Set your gain according to voltage drop and keep amp cool. I've ran my mmats hd 4000.05 with a dc 270xp 1 xs d3400 1 xp2500 and 1 xp3000 2 runs 1/0 and my voltage still drop. I would never an amp @ .5 again
May 9, 201312 yr Author Do you already have subs? yea I wasent planning on doing this way but I made a mistake and ordered dual 2s
May 9, 201312 yr I would never do it for daily. If you are going to run it that low, then make sure you have heavily invested in your electrical system. If you're running 12v system, I wouldn't want to drop below 12.6.
May 9, 201312 yr Author Ok sounds like I might have to run two seperate amps one per sub sucks that I just bought that one tho thanks for info
May 9, 201312 yr Ok sounds like I might have to run two seperate amps one per sub sucks that I just bought that one tho thanks for infoWire it to two ohms, unless you are chasing numbers the gain will be minimal wiring to .5.
May 9, 201312 yr Author What subs btw?two 15" xcons I thoght about it but you think at 2ohms it will power them right Edited May 9, 201312 yr by Ceez9090
May 9, 201312 yr Author What subs btw?two 15" xconsTwo XCON's will get silly loud on 2800 watts, trust me. 2800 Watts? I got a BC 3500 at 2ohms it says 1900
May 9, 201312 yr If your going to use it as a daily driver I would wire it to 2 ohms. They will get plenty loud.
May 9, 201312 yr try and find a kicker or rockford that is 2 ohm stable if they fit your budget, if you already have the Crescendo already then run it at 2 ohms.

June 15, 201312 yr But if you have two subs at half ohm load each with a final load 1ohm would that be okay or no
June 15, 201312 yr But if you have two subs at half ohm load each with a final load 1ohm would that be okay or noHe has two d2's.
June 16, 201312 yr Nobody has any idea of what his load will be until you model his enclosure. I may be nominally over 1 ohm with those drivers, all wired in parallel... So basically, nobody can tell you anything objective until you figure this ^^ out... And no, this isn't impedance rise, just want to nip that one in the bud
