Will this work?

Hey guys i have 2 Btl's fully loaded each runnin off a zx2500.1. Each sub is dual 1 ohm and im looking to throw another 2500.1 on each. What possibilities do i have as far as ohm loads ill be seeing.

[johnecon2001 82]

I don't think that the 2500's are strappable. If they aren't, you can put one coil on each amp. 1 ohm each.

If they are strappable, each 2500 will see .25 ohms if you wire in parallel (I doubt they'll run that low). or you can use a series parallel scheme to get .5 ohms to each amp.

So if i put on amp on each coil what ohm load will i see?

[johnecon2001 82]

ummmm think about that one.

So if i put on amp on each coil what ohm load will i see?

4 coils, 4 amps. you just have the impedance of each coil then.

ummmm think about that one.

yeah. 1 coil per amp, 1 ohm coils...

So each amp will see a 1 ohm load. Do you all think i can run the zx daily at 1 ohm? Should i run into any problems? also what about using that maxx-link.

[johnecon2001 82]

The max link is just a signal splitter. It doesn't "strap" the amps like you would expect.

If the 2500 says it's stable at 1ohm and you have enough electrical upgrades, I don't really forsee a problem with running it at 1 ohm daily.

If its not 1 ohm stable.... I would say if you have to post these questions on whether or not you'll be ok, You're not going to be ok.

I'd say look at your electrical upgrades. Thats putting some serious strain on your car. What types of upgrades have you done???

[johnecon2001 82]

He's working on that now.

225a alternator and 4 yellow tops.

We talked in another thread and he's adding more runs of 1/0awg ATM.

You might be better off going with an amp that puts out the power you want at 2ohms instead of the 4 amp idea. I've heard people say they ran those amps with success at even .5 ohm, but for how long I don't know. I wouldn't run below what its rated and expect great performance or longevity from the amps. It might be more cost effective to buy btls with the coils you want if you are set on the 4 2500s. Good luck!

ya why dont u pick different amps. those kickers are rated at 2 ohm no? and they arent strapable so just find some rated lower and are strapable

Did someone say Sundown SAZ-3000D???
