I'm in need of more power so I'd like to strap two identical amps which don't strap (in the normal way). 

 

Amps: 2 - Arc audio 2300SE

 

Interconnects from the processor into each amp. Except one of the amps will be fed the same exact signal, but 180° out of phase. 

 

Use the positive terminals only on each amp 

 

Wire the in phase amp to the positive post on sub.

 

Wire the out of phase amp to the negative post on sub. 

 

Gain match both.

 

Mtx did this on their thunder elite amps, but they had a dedicated phase switch. Check out their instructions...

Watch this video explains the pitfalls of strapping amplifiers even ones that can be strapped you still going to have phase issues that need to be ironed out even when strapping strappable amps

 

What do you really gain from it I mean it ain't like you're gaining anything really your lowest impedance doubles

 

Better off just game matching the amplifiers
