Why people not like strapping amps?

Okay had a "light bulb" moment thanks guys on facebook. I am a man so I can admit when I am wrong, had error in my math and testing, My thinking was correct as Tony mentioned he agreed with, just incorrect math and testing on my part.

So my new arguement is how else would you wire 3 subs to 2 amps?

Facepalm moment fawk!!!!

:good:

That's exactly one of the benefits of strapping.

Just another wiring configuration for various loads.

Or gaining a certain power level with two amps.

Some people can't afford a monster amp so they get a smaller version first.

Then when they afford another, they strap the two and its like you have that BIG amp you wanted in the first place.

Correct.. Why 2 vc's where brought up. They do nothing, but help for wire config..

same as the strap option...

gain,... no.. in fact, more of a pain in the ass....

I love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

I was told at some point that gain matching has been found to give a little bit extra umf than strapping... other than that... :unknw:

Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.
