emperorjj1 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 that only works if the amps can be "strapped" Quote J.

HHR Ed Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Oh its home audio. No you cannot hook up 2 amps to 1 coil. You wouldnt want to anyway in home audio. If you wanted to add more power, just look at a larger amp.

milesmiles Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 My house doesn't have any grounds, so I figured it would be safer to hook up two amps where you don't need grounds. Is that true anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that true anyways? lol, no that has nothing to do with it at all. It has to do with how the output stages of the amps are designed. Amps have to be specifically designed to beable to strap together. And I dont believe any Home Audio amp out there has been designed for this. There is no need as it is something only done in car audio where extreme power is needed for competition. Also, when done in a car audio application, reliability is decreased and distortion can be increased. And with todays amps exceeding the 15k mark. Its not really something that needs to be done unless you are competing in SPL.
