Taramps bass 5k wired at .5 also had a power acoustic 2500D wired at .5 both work great. Not one problem used daily also have let if play all day for parties and they never got hot with rise it was .8 ohms

I genuinely like you JP. You seem to be a truely honest person and I been watching a lot of your stuff lately. I’m probably going to be buying some speakers off you here shortly!!! Keep at it my dude!

I now buy this man’s line of JP amps instead of Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, & Skar. These are the brands I have used for years or currently using but Big D Wiz talked so highly of JP amps so I trust him and swapped my Skar RP 800 out and ordered a JP8 (800 x 1) class D mono amp and it runs reliably at 1 ohm pushing more power, drawing less current, & extremely beautiful, reliable and priced right, now hooked up with my (1) Skar 10” SVR DVC2 in factory Skar Enclosure and it has slave mode were (2) JP8’s are linkable and capable of lower ohm loads; but like he said before why push my JP8 to a 1/2 ohm? I have now purchased a (2nd) JP8 amp and plan to run them in tandem in slave mode linked together and ordered the Skar 10” EVL DVC2 & a Skar SPL enclosure and I can’t wait to hook all of it up in my 20’ Honda Civic.#🔊❤️#Down4Sound#JP8🔥⚡️✨#JPamps🔊👑!

Hi johnathan, you continue to help with my knowledge of car audio and can tell you talk straight facts so i wanted to gwt your input on my situation. Ok i got a 07 altima with 1/0 GP audio big 3 with all copper lugs runing stock alt. With optima yellow top, Ill customz 4 spot terminals with 1/0 skar pwr n ground fused with 150 amp anl fuse 12" from batt. Pioneer avh601ex h.u. kenwood excellon in dash, doors, and rear deck... I was powering 2 audiopipe bdc4 12s wired 2 1 ohm with the audiopipe apmn 2000.1d but i blew 2 amps in a month. Im done with audiopipe amps n now looking into get a singer alt. Then the skar skv2 2500.1d...should i be safe running it at 1 ohm or should i wire it to 4 ohms? Thanks in advance man. I love your builds and knowledge of car audio...

Great video JP! Well explained.

Thanks Jp.I have a bass clef4k and was thinking of wiring to .5.I do have good electrical but after this video I'm going to go with the Crescendo 6k and stay at 1ohm.

Thanks for the information and advice J.P!!! Without watching this I might have blown my amp thanks my dude! 👍

I don’t even have a car to load a 1/2 ohm or anything lol 😂 but I’m still watching this for the future.

I have a mtx terminator which is 2 ohms and I paid a shop to hook up and amp and wire it. They hooked up 800.1 skar amp which is 1 ohm. It starts to smell after a while. Should I buy a 2 ohm amp and do it myself?

You mentioned efficienct ohm loads for under 1ohm, does it soundgood? I consider 4 5k 1 ohm amps, with supporting electrical. Does it sound good? Is it worth the money?

You can run class d amps that are 1ohm stable under a 1ohm load long as you have the electrical current to do it I would even go all out to put some fans on the amplifiers to keep them cool

I bought a dual 1 ohm sub, can be wired at 2ohm? Can a dual 2ohm sub be wired at 1ohm. My amplifier is 2500W at 1ohm but I have to wire it at 1450w at 2ohm. Should I of got the dual 2ohm sub and wire at 1ohm ?

I can’t decide whether to drive my single, sealed (1cuft) 12” Audiofrog subwoofer at 1 or 2 ohm. Subwoofer is 500wrms. Helix M One Amp can do either but @ 1ohm it’s 600w and @ 2 it’s 410w. My goal is accuracy, efficiency, and SQ. I’m leaning towards 2ohm. But is sacrificing that extra power worth however much more “efficient” it will be? It’s under the drivers seat so it has plenty of breathing room.

Great video, great explaination JP!!! 👍👍👍 I know you don't sell ROCKFORD FOSGATE amps JP, but do you know if those amps can be ran at a lower impedence than what is recommend from their manufacture with no problem particularly the monoblock amps like the T2500-1bdcp or the T1500-1bdcp???

Ok so im currently running .5ohm on the pioneer gm-9701..seems to be good, dont get hot

My 15” sub is wired to 1 ohm but reads .8 ohm. I ran the same setup for 3 years on a 1,500 watt, one ohm stable amp until it finally blew. All zero gauge wire. I upgraded to a 2,000 watt, same brand and setup “1 ohm stable” and keeps going into protect mode when turned up. Any ideas?

Getting my system done on the 16th so glad I saw this Video

Serious question I am looking to get another 4k and strap it but my problem is that my subs total are 5600 max 2 12s at 1800 max a piece and a 15 at 2000 max how would I go about making my subs handle 4k+4k strapped at 8k total??

I’ve been running your jp23 at 1/2 ohm on accident with 1 sundown audio SA12 and a Skar Audio ZVX-12v2 D2 12". I didn’t realize when you hook up both voice coils in parallel they were 1ohm. 😱 I’m such a noob. It honestly hasn’t had any problems yet. But I should run them in series huh

Always run dvc in series then subs to each other in parallel. When you wire dvc in parallel you only use half of voice coil winding and only half of motor force, wire dvc in series to get most motor force 💪

Why? Burps at my peak, rise to 4ohms when wired at 1ohm.......so 1/4 ohm burps get better numbers. Playing music on my system would be a no no wired at 1/4. As the 4x rise is not consistent over my bandwidth. If you learn your system you can wire down sometimes. Lol if your a noob.............like price says ''don't do this''

Running a JL 13W7 on a JP23v2 wired @ .75 and with rise, it averages 1 ohm. Amp and sub seem pretty happy so far and sounds great! I rarely ever run into clipping and really love the dynamic headroom. Electrical is stock alt with big 3, (sky high OFC 1/0) dual AGM batteries and a Rockford 10F cap. I could probably benefit from a 3rd AGM, but I wonder if strapping a pair of JP23's and wiring my 13W7 in series @ 3 ohms would be more efficient? Someone said your coil's motor force goes up when you wire in series. Anybody have any experience with this?

I find this informative even though I am an SQ person. Those SQ amps can be very expensive.

Not to put you or any amp manufacturer down, but Wolfram Audio offers extended warranties that will let you wire down below 1 ohm! I am not planning on doing so but that is that, now you know if you didn't know already, maybe you can start selling their products?

Isn't the wolfram AW-9000.1D warrantied to half?

If an amp is rated to handle .5 ohm the engineer that designed the board has dropped the rail voltage on the board to accommodate for that load. Does it work? Sure but the components on that board will work more efficiently if it was designed to operate at 1ohm.

Thanks for the educational video. Glad someone is telling these young kids why they keep blowing amps.

Is 1 ohm consider a low load with having just a decent battery and no aftermarket alternator? Or is there a stronger aftermarket alternator needed to run at 1ohm as well?

I have always just bought an amp that is rated for 2x what my subs are rated rms. Out of all the systems we tested with our AMM-1 not a single one that was wired at 1 ohm ever dropped below low 2.x ohms from 20-80hz. My current work car build is a Kicker 600.1 (minimum 2 ohm load) on a pair of Alphard 12's. It's wired at 1 ohm and it's still not seeing 2 ohms anywhere from 20-80hz. But doing the .5 route I won't do. When I build my next system for the work truck it's gonna be a 2400 @ 1 ohm amp on a pair of 600 rms each 12's wired at 1 ohm.

Even experienced car audio people can fall into this trap. I did. Had a Power Acoustik RZR-2300(yes, I know an el-cheapo amp) running a single 12” Savard HiQ dual 2 ohm sub. I ram the coils in parallel and it ram fine for 2 months, until it blew. Had a lot of errands to run and had the volume cranked for 30 minutes. The amp was warm but not hot, it just stopped working. No smoke, no smells, it just stopped working. It was not due to the electrical system on the car. Power and ground wires are OFC 4 gauge and are only 4’ long each wired to a lithium 12v battery.

I’m a fan of 2ohm at the lowest. 4 is optimal for efficient control of the power supply. Just buy the amp rated at 2ohm for the power you want. People think higher power is always better but there’s an equal opposite reaction. Heat, uncontrolled burst, and loss of sharpness with subs is not worth it.

I ran my amp at .17ohm. Not long just to see if it would work, passed with flying colors.

Why? More POWER! ARGHHH.....ARGHHH.....ARGHHH

Last but not least, any system sounds the very best in max clipping mode so make sure frequency is up and bass boost if your amp has it. Loosen them latches in the rear and shove the speakers all the way against it, have your whip sounding like there's an alligator in the trunk. If you do all that I can promise you that you will never have to worry about that system ever again. P. S. If you do any of that, or even consider it then go ahead and put whatever system you have on market place and get whatever money you can and go pay for some schooling because it would most definitely be more needed then that few seconds you might get with your system. Think smart, read first, ask questions, get someone to help, message me, research it's simple once you learn how everything works and how to make everything work together and not fighting each other. Have a blessed day. Love the video J.P I still learn from your videos and I've been playing in the audio game for 25+ years. 💯🤝✌️

Is it safe to run my sub at half ohm to a 1ohm stable amp

I don't think so. I'm currently in this situation, i can wire my subs only to 2-Ohm or 0.5-Ohm. I ran it on my amp at 0.5 for a bit and the amp got VERY HOT. I decided an amp that supports 1200W @ 2-Ohm is what I have to buy.

can i wire my 2 dvc 4 ohm to a mono block amp at 2 ohms at 1000 watt arms???

Kapakahi Productions two 4 ohm subs would be best ran on a 1 ohm mono amp for best power.

OnYx DoNT MisS what about if I want to run my 2 side speakers and 2 bullet tweeters would that work on a 5 channel amp ?? With my 2 12’s

How about a 1ohm stable amp to a 1 ohm sub 3 batterys, an upgraded alternator , big 3 of 0 gauge wires . Or do I use a 2 ohm sub

I have the JP23 amplifier wired to ONLY 1 ohm on (2) Skar VXF 12's, they sound awesome! Yes they are under powered and that's my ohm load and my choice. I don't care what everyone else is doing or says, it's my system! The jp is a very solid amplifier bty. Thanks JP!😉

What gets me is when they do this and then blame the product when it fails.

Why then one of sellers told me to wire mine here in the UK to 0.5 ohm I want to take this further .

I have a power acoustik bamf 5500 with 4 12s a0.5 ohm and been running like this for 10 years 😅 people can't believe how loud it is pw ftw😊

LOL I’ve just seen a lot of people say when they’re wired down to 1 ohm after box rise they’re close to or a little over 2 ohms so I figured I’d wire down to 0.5 ohm and after rise I’d be right around 1 ohm and get the most out of my amp lmao I just thought without it playing the amp would be fine at 0.5 ohm and when I turn it up it would rise closer to 1 ohm your the first I’ve heard say not to but now it makes sense these videos Deff help

You need to know what your doing and something's you absolutely need to have before considering wiring under 1ohm first and foremost. #1 you should absolutely have an oscilloscope so that you can insure your amplifier is 100% not going to be clipping. #2 knowing what your amp is clamping/the current pull so you know the amperage your amplifier will be pulling to support it's needs such as high output alternator and appropriate amount of lithium. So for instance my 2 amps will be pulling well over 1000 amps of current each at 0.5ohms I am running a 16v charging system with 260ah of lithium I can support about 30,000 Watts of power when my amps at most will be putting out 15,000 Watts of clamped power so I built my bank to support double the amount of current so no matter what I will not be starving my amplifiers of voltage or especially current/amperage. #3 knowing what your amp/amps can and cannot do if you're running a full bridge amplifier even if you have the right voltage and current to back it up you should not be running under 1 ohm EVER! The biggest thing is know what you're doing and the consequences of your actions before you wired down into the dirt as we call it, some of this Audio equipments very expensive we cannot afford to be making poor judgment calls based on a lack of knowledge I would highly recommend following "barevids" on KZread Sam is extremely intelligent and you can learn so so much with Hands-On approach to the equipment we use and how it works.

my skar skv2 amp is wires at .006ohms load and I got four 18s that are 1ohms stable.. shit gets low, hits like 9hz. and my amp stays cold all day in Florida

BeatWithBass44 I think I got what he’s saying lol. So we buy a meter and wire down to 0.5 then we go full tilt and see what we meter then we turn it down til it’s 3 decibels less and then the amp will be safe at 0.5 for daily ? Lmao what the fuck does dB have anything to do with risking burning your amp up because you wired down below what the amp is rated for smfh people can’t be that stupid lol

BeatWithBass44 turn the volume down 3 db so there is the same amount of current going though the amp as there would be running at 1 ohm. Problem solved. Just because you wire at .5 doesnt mean you have to run it full tilt.

The main reason is the printed circuit board wasn’t designed for the voltage and current they are trying to heat them up to instant car fire
