Strapping 2 small amps or get 1 big amp

BUT by strapping amps, the MAIN advantage is you are running a higher impedance, so total output current is lower and output voltage is higher, current kills!!! Voltage is a hugh PLUS!!! If you want me to explain it further I can, but that is the biggest benefit honestly.

please do, i'm debating whether or not to strap my amps :)

hiiiiiiii
2002 4runner - buncha speakers n amps n shit (gone)
1994 astro - more stuffz

update: pretty sure all the pic links in the logs are broken lol.

lots of hater kids here. Pay no attention, they just want 89,000 watt subs for 3.50
If you would have put a dc dustcap on it and called it lv your mom, they would all be in love

this. Were going to try it both ways in my next setup but im interested to know.

Quality is all in how you take pictures ;) I have plenty of projects that look WAY better on camera then in person :D

crazy to fit so many in so little. Reminds me of some of the porns I've seen?

Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k!

Why would you EVER WANT flex?
huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

You want your VAC to AAC ration as high as possible to maintain the highest amount of coil cooling. Remember voltage keeps things cool, current is what heats metal up, so would you rather want a 60 VAC and 30 AAC flowing thru your coils or 30 VAC and 30 AAC? That is the simple way to explain it.

I would need to sit down when I have time and draw up some diagrams with numbers on each so it is easy to follow, it is one of those things I just get and understand without thinking about it much.

Yeah I bet you did that without thinking much because you’re 100% wrong. A strapped amp at minimum impedance has the same output current as a single amp at minimum impedance. That’s why the min load is double for strapped amps.
