Sundown Audio

Strapped or gain matched?!?

Recommended Posts

I wanted some experienced guy's opinions here. When I go to throw on my second SAZ3500, what will be the better way to hook them up? I have two of the SAZ3500s(V1) and have contemplated either option.

I've heard gain matching is the way to go, and I've heard either way would be about the same in the end. Does running each amp independently(non-strapped) help fight imp rise more?

I'm interested in your opinions and real world experience.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

I've always gain matched. I know you have access to a CC-1 so do it that way. strapping seems to work better for burping but I see nothing but issues on music

Okey doke. I could have just asked you in the group chat on FB but knew you were sick and didn't want to bother you :)

Thanks guys.

P.S. Fisher has my CC-1 haha. We forgot that his amps are luxurious and have the BD Sync :P

Gain matched here......

That's what will happen then boys.

Btw, don't get all excited about seeing two amps in my truck yet. I've got to address some serious flex issues and sealing off around my port/trimming out the interior before letting the second amp eat ;)

Oh yeah, and get both alts spinning :D

Gain match. A lot of people I have talked to have said strapping makes less power than gain matched.

Any of you guys with the amm-1 measured power output from the amps each different way?

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
