Strapping amps issue

Recommended Posts

Heres the layout for now

alpine cda 105

clarion eq

4 18 fi n2's wired to 2ohm

-27cuft NET

-3 8" aero ports

-27hz tuning

2 crunch gp3000ds strapped

-subsonic set to about 20hz

problem is it doesnt play the lows as violent as it did with 1 amp 43-44hz(Sounds peaky compared to1 amp also) is loud but it kind of fades off below that..still moves some air but not like it did on 1 amp at .5ohm

Also i have to take a look at the slave amp for the settings(subsonic) but im pretty sure they wont matter since its in slave mode

I think your problem might be that you picked kick ass subs and weak amps.

So it's quieter with 2 amps? Maybe it has to do with the power vs. Box size??? We can try my 3500s on them one day if you want. Just run the wires from my car to your subs. Strapped vs unstrapped. Idk how you strap with those amps but make sure the impedance isn't going up with your wiring configuration.

its hard to say its like anything below 40hz isnt being played loud compared to 40hz and up is its definitely louder on that end but 40hz and lower just isnt there anymore on 2 amps

very weird...so w 1 amp you had it at .5 with both amps your seeing a 2 ohm load? i know when you strap an amp you get more imp rise and/or power compression could come into play...i think for 4 18s you need MUCH more port area than 3 8" aeros and the extra power is actually putting to much power into the box and not letting it out making the subs fight their own back pressure killing the score and lows...you gotta figure a low note moves A LOT of air...if it cant get out quick enough the subs are gonna build up on their own pressure

I rewired it for the strapping (series then parrallel)

Im not worry about the port area too much...(Didnt wanna use him as an example but look at steve meade lol) then again i have about 7cuft on his box..
