Setting Strapped amps with DMM

Recommended Posts

Ok so im going to be running 2 amps strapped to 1ohm(.5ohm each amp) for comps, and will be using a DMM to set them. So i have a question.

Seeing the amps are strapped and show a combined 1ohm final load, when i calculate the gain voltage that i want to achieve do i just do use 1 ohm to caclulate it or another way.

Example: Each amp is rated 500rms @ 1 ohm. SQRT(500*1)=22.36v OR like this because they are strapped, SQRT(1000*1)=31.62

Which way would be correct?
