ok here we have a question, no manufacturer wants to address this question so maybe someone here has a real world experience. Lets talk amp strapping vs amp daisy chaining.
Here is the scenario I have 2 18" subwoofers and 2 monoblocks. I can install the amps two different ways.
Way number 1.
hook up one monoblock per sub at 1ohm setting the first amp to master the second amp to slave, the first amps gain controls the second amps gain...crossover..etc
way number 2.wire the subs in series at 2ohm. strap the amplifiers together so one amp becomes a positive the other amp becomes a negative. the master slave switch is used to control gain,crossover...etc
The manufacturers say it is the same power output either way. considering the resistance stays the equal.
has anyone tried an a/b comparison? vs spl output
