baaudio Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Wont say specifically which amps. But im contemplating 8 amps, so 2 per woofer or 2 big amps. Either way each amp will see .5. I have the tools and knowledge to set either up correctly. But looking for some insight from the more experienced guys. if this counts as a vs thread feel free to delete it Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baaudio Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Okay well I have 4 of the 8 amps already, so its less expensive. Basically 8 1700s at .5 vs 2 8ks at .5 each. Both amps have proven to do over rated power. And will be beasts at .5 Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97Jetta1637 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 per sub/coil is much more efficient than 2 amps for multiple subs. not saying it wont work. but there are gains behind going per coil/sub than 4 subs to an amp. #teamihop Two 12 inch DC XL's Carbon Fiber Cap Stetsom 7k Shell of box / baffle built by me Port / sealing the box by John Hone Fuck midrange Alpine-9886 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177428-97jettas-sql-trunk-wall-loudest-99-buick-century-custom-with-a-one-legged-owner/ price has no influence on how something sounds I told him to move the fucking port. they see me hoppin they stoppin they can't believe im so white and dirty It looks like you got so drunk, that someone came up and stole your leg.

97Jetta1637 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 that too. but the down side, more room being used. if space isn't an issue, nevermind that. #teamihop Two 12 inch DC XL's Carbon Fiber Cap Stetsom 7k Shell of box / baffle built by me Port / sealing the box by John Hone Fuck midrange Alpine-9886 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177428-97jettas-sql-trunk-wall-loudest-99-buick-century-custom-with-a-one-legged-owner/ price has no influence on how something sounds I told him to move the fucking port. they see me hoppin they stoppin they can't believe im so white and dirty It looks like you got so drunk, that someone came up and stole your leg.

TaylorFade Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 That's a tough one. But that's a whole lot of gain matching for a strapped pair per sub. And so much wiring. Sheesh. Too many variables and things to go wrong. And if it's the amps I think you're talking about, I bet the pair of big boys would be more power. Not by much, but more.

baaudio Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Another positive from more amps is if one fails I can rewire and keep playing. But yes I'll have one amp per coil. I can strap pairs together. So I'll have to gain match each set of strapped amps. But I really see more potential in that setup plus less of a dent in my wallet lol Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sell the ones you have now to offset the cost. Those things move quick. And think about how you're going to rewire if you lose one or two amps. That'll be a nightmare. Much easier to rewire to one amp from two than to (6) amps from 8 or whatever. Although... 8 amps would be awesome as shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
