LoudNLow931 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Alrighty... Say I have 4 Dual 1 subs and 2 DC5ks, How do I wire the subs to both amps and what kinda load would each amp see? I wire 2 subs to each amp so each amp was 1ohm and then strapped the load on each amp would be what? i have no idea about how strapping works... 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7l Cummins 4 FT1s C1600.2 8 PWX 8s ONX2.100 Audio Technix Wiring & Sound Deadener My Youtube Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwright27 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Strapped at 1 is .5 per amp. Strapped at 2 is 1 ohm per amp 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

MIKE-2U Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 strapping is different for each amp. check your manual or go to the videos and how to on this forum. you need this special cable(forget name) and the you strap them using speaker wire, when you strap its like one big amp though with only on set of wire outputs( 1 pos and 1 neg) iirc, so maybe you want each amp to have 2 subs instead of strapping. 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee LaredoPioneer AVH- 3200DVD2/0 Flex-A-Prene Welding Cable (2) Fully Loaded Fi Sp4's dual 1-------> My YouTube Channel <------- Needs more power those woofers will laugh at that turd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudNLow931 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Strapped at 1 is .5 per amp. Strapped at 2 is 1 ohm per amp So I would be strapped at 2ohm with 4 Dual 1 subs correct? 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7l Cummins 4 FT1s C1600.2 8 PWX 8s ONX2.100 Audio Technix Wiring & Sound Deadener My Youtube Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSkippyJ Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 just strap them at .5, a nice .25 will do ya just fine F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day you're correct. Needed a bridging module. Now just one side of a spare RCA. 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

MIKE-2U Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Series resistance adds, parallel resistance take a little more math. For parallel, you do you should not mix different ohm loads however. The easiest way to do parallel loads though, as long as every load is the same (i.e. 2 d4 subs) is if every load is in parallel: then take the ohm load divided by the number of loads. so 2 d4 subs= 4 coils at 4 ohms. if all are in parallel, then 4/4=1. Say you had 6 single 8 ohm subs and you want to put all of them in parallel. 8ohms/6loads=1.33ohms. now if you had different load values (which you should not do unless you KNOW what you're doing) then you would have to use the equation listed above. ****this is waht some one shoulded me when i was wiring my 2 d-4ohm subs. you take ohm load( 1 ) dived by coils( 4 since there are each DUAL) so 1/4= .25 but if your strapping it would be .5 ohm and each amp sees .25 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee LaredoPioneer AVH- 3200DVD2/0 Flex-A-Prene Welding Cable (2) Fully Loaded Fi Sp4's dual 1-------> My YouTube Channel <------- Needs more power those woofers will laugh at that turd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
