#Patriot76 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkarredSierra Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
