is two 2k amplifiers really 4000watts??

if you strap at 2 ohms each amp will still see 1 ohm

Thanks guys, watched the video. Now onto some trickier questions. My amp puts out 1200watts at 2 ohms, I am running a dual 2+2 voice coil sub. If I run 1 amp per sub, I am forced to wire it up at 2ohms per coil still only giving me a max wattage of 1200watts per coil = 2400 watts total. So really... what did I gain? How do I wire my shit up to see a full 4000 watts??????

Are those amps rated at 2k at 1 ohm?

If you strap your final ohm will be 1ohm giving you 4000watts not the 2400 you was thinking.

Are you trying to say that your subs are dual voice coil with 2 ohm coils?

If yes then you can wire them up to 1 ohm or 4, or run one amp per coil and it would be a 2 ohm load for the amp.

2 dc 2000 strapped is 4000, you need a dual 1 ohm sub if you are running one sub or Two 2 ohm subs if your running two subs

If yopu have 2 subs that are dual 2ohms you strap the amp wire the subs together for a final 2 ohm load or you run each sub on its own amp at 1 ohm its not hard your installer should know this

HOW MANY DUAL 2 OHM SUBS DO YOU HAVE one posts you make it sound like you have one another like you have 2 which one is it

You should ask these questions before spending money

I have only 1 sub. Sorry, I'm a little illiterate at typing some-days. The whole reason I began asking these questions is because in the manual for the amp it says "when two amps are strapped together you can run at a minimum ohm impedance of 2 ohms" Does that mean that both amps are now running at the full 2000watts @ 1 ohm X2 = 4000watts @ 2ohms? I'm new to this whole strapping thing; so sorry for the n00b questions.

if two amps that are strapped together are wired at 2 ohms, then each amp will see 1 ohm. 2 ohms on 2 2k amps strapped will make each amp see 1 ohm and output 4000w total.
