ok so i bought a T5001BD fosgate amp. i just purchased 2 P3D212 RF subs. each sub is in its own ported enclosure. hooking them up in a series they are either going to run at 8 ohm, 2 ohm, or 0.5 Ohm. my question is, can i safely run this amp at 0.5 Ohms? and safely i mean, not hurt my electrical system, not hurt the subs and not hurt the amp itself.
Secondly... if not at 0.5 Ohms, would this amp be sufficient enough to power these 2 subs running the amp at 2 Ohms?
Or thirdly... would i be better off just running one sub off of this amp? if i went that route, would running the amp at 1 Ohm to one P312D2 be too much power for it? and would running it at 4 Ohms not be enough power for the one sub?
yeah i was thinking of setting the gain to push at 500 rms which is what the sub is maxed out at. if doing a test tone and using a multi-meter, what tone should i run to test the voltage with?
yeah im just gonna run the amp to one sub and run it 1 Ohm. I'll adjust the gain so it wont push too much power to the sub. its rated at 500 rms. does the t500 really push a lot more than just 500 rms? if so whats the best way of adjusting the gain so it will produce just 500 or a little over 500 rms?
