Strapping amps ohm question

Recommended Posts

Islandpride...I know how to wire everything my main question is how many ohms would each amp see... I'm guessing but is it like hooking up one amp to the subs when strapped so it would be at one ohm... But since there are two amps they see .5ohms each... Does that sound right

first , amps don't rise.

second , lets say each amps sees .5 and your subs/box/vehicle cause a 3ohm rise . your wired to 1ohm so your wired rise is 3ohm. so now your at 4ohm total each amp should see 1.5ohm more each. so each amp will see 2ohm in theory.

And you can't control rise. A sub not in a box will still show rise just by pushing on it. your over thinking this. Set it up and let it hammer.

You buying the replacements when they blow?

LOL!!!! hell NO!!! If they listen to whats said and have learned something for their build. then nothing blows. If they didn't listen and do it anyway, nothing we can do. We give advice and share tons of knowledge on here.

I run BD-linked. RF ftw.

Really!?! I'm going to push about 1400 watts rms to each sub at 2 ohms, subs are 1250rms... I was just wondering if I could strap and get a little more power since people say they can handle it... I've looked for hours wondering what load id be at but couldn't find anything so I started this thread... And now I'm getting bashed because I've seen three different answers and not sure who to believe... Can't anyone explain it so I understand and gain the knowledge? That's kindve the reason of forums like this isn't it?

What does your manual say? I posted 2 manuals for you, and you're still wondering what the right answer is?????????

I'm going to daisy chain and have switched to turn off each amp individually to conserve battery and alt life since I made my box with a divider... But the strapping I'm positive my amps would see .5ohms and I don't want to run them that low
