scfaust Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 ive never straped amps but from what i read i would do one per set. Quote http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww203/scfaust1/alphadamp.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FRED Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I thought so, because if I strap them they would only be stable at 2ohm and they are rated at 2600w rms at 1ohm, but I just wanted some input on this, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 if you can run 2 amps at 1ohm then you can run 2 strapped at 2ohm.. I dont see the issue???????

SundownTL3.2 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 i wouldnt strap i have always heard that strapping amps raises the distortion rate Quote 2004 Chevy Tahoe LT........... THINKING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I dont care for the way they sound when there strapped on music, I wouldn't do it for music, I would only strap for burp applications but that's me and I'm very picky with my sound quality. I believe it sounds "muddy" when in a strapped application on music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sound xtreme Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 the more important issue is current draw. there is alot more current draw when amps are strapped. run them separately Quote 1997 Astro front:6 sets of T3 componets Subs: 8 level 5 18"s (building 6th order BP) Amps: 4 really big ones (totalling just shy of 50K) Batts: Alt: Ohio Generator 1996 Chevy Suburban Sub amp: A fifth really big amp Subwoofer: 2-15" DC Level 4 XL Batts: C&D high rate--(x4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jville140db Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I would have to agree don't strap them you will get more potential power if you don't. oh get your self some form of line driver as well those amps love signal.
