Derrick824 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Should I be tough enough to pound them daily at 1ohm or do I need more? Should I run them daisy chained and gain matched or strap them at 2ohm? Subs are 4 15" dual 1ohms. I think you'll be alright as long as you're not playing full tilt all the time. A good precaution would be to install a nice digital volt meter up front so you can keep an eye on it. As for the amps I would run them strapped just for the convenience of only needing one remote knob. Quote
Audiobahnaholic Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Posted June 19, 2008 The remote knob is a good point and since I'm going to be needing it so i can set my gains then turn it down daily and then turn it up for comps it would be much more convenient to turn it down and up with a knob than screwdriver and dmm. What will a strapped pair do at 2ohm? 6200-6400?

I don't suggest letting your voltage sag under 12 for extended periods of time - if it does that means your charging system is inadequate. It's pretty uncommon to see any issues above 11 even for long periods, though -- on burps into the 10s really won't hurt them. Many people running them in "street" with one battery drop them down like that frequently for burps without issues.

Audiobahnaholic Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Posted June 20, 2008 What will a strapped pair do at 2ohm? 6200-6400? Also, when i strap the pair do I turn the phase 180 on the Slave amplifier? I know you do on my orion's but I didn't know how that BR ouput worked and if it did or not.

The *** forums has a tutorial for strapping the amps. Quote 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 110k miles | Stock 1996 GMC Yukon SLT 4dr 4wd | 260k miles | JVC Head-unit
Audiobahnaholic Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Posted June 20, 2008 Can Jacob chime in on that? I looked on *** and didn't see where it specified.

Derrick824 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 The BR out from the master amp does that automatically. No need to mess with anything on the slave amplifier. Simply run a single rca from BR out of the master amplifier to BR in of the slave amplifier, adjust settings properly on the master amplifier, and you're done. Quote
sundownz Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Indeed - you don't have to touch any controls at all on the slave amp. Quote - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected]
