Hello, I recently bought the 2D4 and i want to get the the most out of it at 2ohm or 1ohm what amp will push this to the max with out overheating? thk

to be honest with you. I never met an amp that didn't want to overheat!! All you can do is keep your seats down (if they fold down in the back) keep your a/c up and have a good amp. I recommend the Rockford Fosgate 4 channel amp, that's what I have. Pioneer make a good 4 channel amp too; Im not saying you have to spend 550 an amp but just whatever you get don't be too cheap about it cause you get what you pay for!! Peace

Make sure you have high capacity alternator, 4gauge wire or bigger, and that your subs can be wired to 1ohm. I have mines running 2 alpine type-x 12's at 1ohm fine all day long. Great amp for the price. Best money I've ever spent on an amp.

From the manual: "This amplifier is not recommended for impedance loads below 2-Ohm stereo/4-Ohm bridged for the front/rear channels and 2-ohmfor the sub channel." I think you may have overheating issues with a 1 Ohm load.

Oh and I read other comments. About putting to 1 ohm. Bad idea. That's what I did. To my 2 15" boss subs and exploded the ass end of them. Then I bought two 15 3600 watt pyles and they work perfect. Lots I bass. And can handle more.

I have wired this amp in every configuration. I have never been disappointed. 2ohms is where i decided to run it and keep it that way.hope this helps.

That amp is 4-ohm stable when brigded so if you're only running one sub then you'd get the dual 4 ohm sub, wire it to 8 ohms, then put that onto the brigded amp for a 4 ohm load. If you're running more than one sub the wiring could get tricky since you'd have to run in both parallel and serial wiring configuration. Search for wiring diagrams if you need further clarification.

Higher ohms are always compatible. As long as you stay above 2 per channel or 4 bridged you'll be fine with this amp.

not too sure i have it running at 1ohm and it's great, the amp pushed my Diamond 12" 400watt sub great, clean sound too, getting the Alpine SWR-12D2 12 next week I'll let you know well it pushes that. I have my doubts but only time will tell, I can tell you that's it's not 3000 watts tho, but from experience it's enough for a single 12" 400 watt sub.

I'm running mine to one 12 punch at 4ohm. Was cutting out an had trouble at 2 an lower. I'd go with the punch series Amp for alil more money if I were you.

I'm no expert, and don't know what they mean by 4 ohm topology. Generally, the 4 ohm amp would be underpowered trying to drive 2 ohm speakers. Should be ok at low to moderate volume but high volume could overheat the amp. You should ask on a car stereo forum.

How many voice coils do you have that amp works well at 2ohm or 4ohm. If your sub is dual voice coils it can be wired down to a lower ohm so you can pull the max RMS/watts from the amp

I have mine set at 60,0" phase and ~100hz on bypass and I've had no problems. What amp are you using to drive it? I listen to lots of heavy bass music and can easily drive myself out of the room if I crank my amp so the question is--? what do you want to do the heavy lifting. The amp or the sub?

I don't remember if this amp is rated to 2 ohms. If it's not you'll cook it not matter how many fans you put in there. To answer your power questions, 2 ohms puts out about double the power compared to 4 ohms if I'm not mistaking. Also you need to make sure the speaker can run at 2 ohms. In short if your stuff is rated at 2 ohms and the amp can go down that low then you'll be happy. If nothing is rated for 2 ohms you'll be unhappy real fast.

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub

I would get two 4 ohm subs. I have two 4 ohm single voice coils Kenwood subs running the amp in series and it sounds great. Getting two 2 ohm subs might bring the impedance too low. Hope this helps.

If you have a pair of these your options with this amp are 125w to each in stereo. Each sub is 4 ohms and the bridged x1 or (mono) operation for this amp is rated for 4 ohms x1 @ 450w for use with a sub. You have two subs both at 4 ohms so wiring the subs in parallel will create a 2 ohm load on the amp and it will quickly overheat. The manual states unfortunately that the bridged 2 ohm load cannot be used for a sub. I actually tried it and found it to be true with the amp heating up and going into protect.

it would fry them if it could run at .5 lowest i've been able to run it was .79 (.8)ohms any lower and it goes protect. it fried my friends type r 15s at 1 ohm. if you're still looking at getting this amp then runs it in 2ohms and give it a try.
