808faka Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 for someone who runs a 18v system you figured they would know something this simple so are you gonna answer? or just act like a shithead? its my first 16volt system. i just asked you legit questions, hoping you would reply with legit answers that would help me further understand my system. is that too much to ask? Is it too much to ask that you use the search button? i did genius and nothing came up. i tried putting in NS1, sundown NS1, strapping NS1, no results for any of them.

808faka Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 really just wanted to know if one or the other is better. strapping or wiring each amp to each sub. thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 i doubt you get 0.1 v drop but even if its true you will double the amperage draw by getting the second amp. wiring them strapped at 1 ohm or .5 each will further the amperage draw.. i wouldnt do it.. you also have to remember that those 2 alts that are rated 350a actually put out less amperage the higher you set the voltage so you're really not getting 350a from each alt at 18 volts at this point youre only hurting your equipment and soon it will hurt your pocket.. get an extra alt and 6 more batteries, maybe then you can wire both at .5 ohms but i dont recommend it well 0.1 to 0.3 is the most iv'e seen it drop seriously. also could you explain to me why the alts put out less amperage the higher you set voltage? never heard of that. also why would you say i'm hurting my equipment when those mechman units are fully adjustable and my amps are also 18 volt stable. youre hurting your equipment by running them at a impedance that is not recommended by the manufacturer i will post a video explaining the amperage vs voltage as soon as i find it thanks id like to see that video. but i have them wired at 1 ohm right now so how is that not recommended by sundown? i swear it says its one ohm stable. if i was to add the second one then yes i could see it going against whats recommended, but people seem to run these all the time at half ohm. you have it at 1 ohm now but when you add the second one both will be at .5 ohms regardless if you strap them or not my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 really just wanted to know if one or the other is better. strapping or wiring each amp to each sub. thats all. there is no better. its just for the ease of wiring. both ways will work the same.. if you dont have the proper tools to gain match and set crossover points then strapping would be the easier thing to do my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 i cant find it.. you do lose amperage output bot its not a lot i will keep searching and post it my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyN Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 he could run it strapped at 4 ohms or each one at 2 ohms but why bother ...
