is there a reason that you want that much diff in power?
I can't speak for him but I will tell you why I do. Believe it or not overpowering a sub is no where near as damaging as sending it a clipped or unclean power. For example. My current subs in my civic are AQ HDC3's. They are 1k each but underrated. I could put a 1500w amp to each of them as most would but I would likely be sending it a clipped signal at some point just because I like to beat them and eventually will blow them. However I currently have a par of 3500s on them. Its way overkill for that sub but I can actually send all of that Power to them for short periods of time without a problem but on average I give them about 2k worth and they love every bit of it. Its because its a completely clean signal. So really if you can afford to go overboard with power then do it.

This fo sho. That's the same reason I have a BC2k on my Obsidian.

i know that thats not really what i was getting at, but i guess hes just looking to score a endo amp at a lil better price. and yeah i plan on having a crescendo 2250 watts on each 1500 w z subs im gettin so kinna same.

I'd run them at .5 ohm on those subs

really, i did just order some more 0ga stinger wire and a new volt meter to strenghten up my electrical i will have 2 group 31 agm 110ah batts in back one for each amp, 0ga runs,big 4 all done in nice OFC, also now have a dedicated grund for amp and another frame ground in the back by the amp,220a h.o. alternator prolly gonna get a better mechman singer tenny one of them like 300a too you think that will be good for 2 at .5 ohm? i know it will be good for em at 1 ohm but idk about .5. and to the OP sorry i wont jack your thread nomore : )

np with a good discussion. but **** i figure a bigger amp i can turn it down if needed and always have room to step up...which i always like to do but either way i will figure it out if anyone happens to have one.

That should be decent on those amps. It wont last real long at idle or with the car off but watch your voltage and you should be fine. On your new alternator consider one of the ones that does like 275 at idle. Unless your only driving highway you will likely see more power out of it because of its constant production at low rpms. The nice thing is the endo amps are good for a .5 ohm nominal load and if you find that the electrical isn't up to it then just back the gains down a bit and you end up with the same output as you would have had with 1 ohm load and no clipping at all. I can't find any reason not to run them at .5 ohm. I guess there a little less efficient but not by a lot.
