#Patriot76 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Ok. I'm understanding the strapping amps, but how to I set up my subs. (Dual 2 ohm). Set them up at 4 ohm or 1 ohm.
SkarredSierra Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 1 ohm. That will make the amps see a strapped 2 ohm load. Gain matching is another option. Wire to 1 ohm on each sub then set 1 amp gain clean and use a dmm to match the second amp to the first amp.
SnowDrifter Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Wire your sub to 4 ohm. Each amp will 'see' 2 ohm Amp power output: V*A Voltage: Power supply internal to the amp Amperage: How meaty the traces, internal components are, etc Bridging the amp: Doubles voltage Ohms law: I=V/R. Or, amperage is voltage divided by resistance So, to maintain the same amperage when doubling the voltage, you need to double the resistance, or in this case, inductive load, so that I=2V/2R, else you'll end up with 2I=2V/R which would be wired below rated. If you wired your driver to 1 ohm and bridged it, each amp would see 0.5 ohm and you'd risk hardware damage. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
