  1. From what I have seen and tried, Some amps strapped do better for a burp and have less output for daily music. What you will really need to do, is see how your amps perform and to try then test them both ways.

    My personal taste is to not strap amps for daily use.

    yesterday I tried rca splitters and level matching the amplifiers. I was able to hit 146.4. I then tried option one with the master slave switch. I gained an entire db.

    I probably will not do option 2 due to the fact if one amp goes down in flames it might take the other with it.But that being said flames are pretty cool. Scratch that I will try it! I will have to wire my subs in series which will raise my BL so I might get louder even though the set up might be slightly less efficient! I will keep ya posted

  2. 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

  3. i say you allow it, not only can i not hit SHIT at 33 hz, it is home made =\ and i can post it up on a green colored wire site if need be to make it open to the public

    Would be great if we could only use publicly available cd's for that portion of testing. When a cd is burned it can be easily manipulated, that also takes out the option down loading from a p2p site. Lets just say fuck it and allow test tones straight noise for 30 seconds. Music whats that???

  4. you dont, one of the lowest 30 second average songs i know of is 33 hz, if anyone else is using a song lower that has a 30 second average is breaking the rules i suppose =\ oh well rules are rules

    I think there are some rules that need to be in place so people dont make home made bass cd's with test tones camo'd in them. I am fine with no chopped and screwed so long as burnt cd's arent used. It should go back to the old days of iasca where you had like 4 songs to choose from for the spl portion of your soundq+. I know today we need alot more choices. Make the disc available to everyone and make them play songs off that cd at shows. Something to that effect. cheating right now is way to easy.

  5. no chopped and screwed

    No chopped and screwed but custom cd's are permitted? That makes no sense. Was at a car show recently and heard someone playing a home made cd that had test tones galore camoflaged. Would love to find that on a commercial cd.They need to revamp the rules just a little bit. Allowing homade cd's is a disaster waiting to happen. They should make people play un burnt commercially available cd's. No ipod's. I say no ipods for the simple reason people can tweak song in fruity loops and programs like that tranfer them to their ipod. What do you think?

    If it skips your deck buy a changer!

    soooo umm your screwed lol
