TzA Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I have a question regarding the wiring for a dual amp, dual sub configuration. I have two Dual 1 Ohm subs, and two amps. If I strap the amps, the load needs to be a minimum of 2 Ohms.. is this possible with my subwoofer set up? Is there another way around this? Such as wiring each sub separately but still daisy chain the amps... i dont know... kind of a noob when it comes to the electrical stuff.. Any help would be appreciated. i have searched around, but have not quite found anything useful.. F O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 All coils in parallel will give you .25 ohm. All coils in series will give you 4 ohms. Dual coils in series and subs in parallel would be 1 ohm. Maybe run just one amp or get two more subs. Two ohm coils would have worked better for what you are trying to do. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainStryke Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I would look into wiring each sub at .5OHM and gain match the amps. I would not strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TzA Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Yes, my original setup was a single amp. Got a great deal on two recon 1.6's.. Anyhow, so instead of truly strapping these, you're saying wire independently.. Then could I just use the rca out to the other amps rca in? Is that what you are referring to when gain matching? Or are you suggesting I manually set each amps gains separately?! F O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotorCityFats13 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 daisychaining and strapping are not the same thing.... using the rca passthroughs to feed signal to more amps is called daisychaining.... bridging 2 amps together like they were a single 2 channel amp is strapping..... daisychaining is just so you can save money on rca cables and have a cleaner setup other wise you would need Y splitters everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TzA Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 What's the real issue with strapping and then wiring to 1 ohm? F O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TzA Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 With box rise.. probably will be around 2ohms.. F O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityFats13 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 even with box rise you pass the low number from time to time... I wouldnt wire it for rise if its daily system.... to fully see what i going on you would need the smd imsg tool thingy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
