rambronco Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 It Looks good as far as I can tell. It is normal for the positive of the slave amp to be used as the negative. If the amps are mono then it doesnt matter how many terminals are used as they will be connected internally. Check the DC resistance of your subs (They are wired in a series/parallel configuration so it should be 2 ohms, wont be exact but should be close, double check just to be sure). RB 01 Chevy Silverado X-cab 2 Sundown Z18v4 walled on 2 Lanzar Opti 7k's strapped at 1/2ohm = each amp wired to 1/4ohm. Havent checked impedence rise so not sure what they are actually seeing. 6 group 31AGM's. 2-Eclipse 34230's each one running 2 Eminence 6.5" Beta 6A. These are beastly mids rated at 350w program power. I was skeptical but the eclipse amps are 370w x 2 and when there was 4 mids on 1 amp I could push it into thermal protect within a song so added the 2nd amp. Eclipse 4212 running 4 CT sounds Meso tweeters. and 2 DLS ultimate tweeters up high to raise the soundstage. 96' Ford F350 4wd 4d long bed 7.3 diesel with 91k miles. Will be the sound quality rig if I can ever find the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Why strap? Refuse to gain match? If so... why.. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get the same amt of power, except i can get it at 2 ohms which running 6000 watts, we are tryna keep it as cool as possible. I can control both amps gain and xover points off 1 amp which means i dont hafta worry about getting them exactly the same. - noobie I dont know how reliable it is to accurately get them that close if i could - OCD pranoia Other than that, no particular reason... thats my plan B tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB Thx RB, The VC are wired series on each sub, and the subs are wired in parallel to each other. Off of only 1 positive and 1 negative terminals in the box. So you say i can take both positves and both negatives from the amp and hook them together into the same terminals on the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh i didnt know that. Guess i figured it had more of a benefit than tuning... So how can i accurately set the subsonic and hpf on amps to exactly the same as each other if i choose to gain match instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a lot of amps have multiple terminals even though they are mono. You can have multiples coming from the amp but they are all connected internally. So amp yes all together, box just depends how you wired it, sorry for the confusion. 01 Chevy Silverado X-cab 2 Sundown Z18v4 walled on 2 Lanzar Opti 7k's strapped at 1/2ohm = each amp wired to 1/4ohm.

Kyblack76 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Yet again, a user thinking that a couple of strapped boards,.. does something magical. It does not... As far as setting the low and high passes, use your HU. 99.99% made now a days are capable.

CstrokerV Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 The amps I have they are 2400 a piece but when I strap them it says it will only be 4500.. not sure how yours work though as soon as I’m able to start a build I’ll strap till I get a cc-1 then I’ll match with that.. my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
