Strapping 4 amps???

[97maxima]

I know its been done. But my guess would be that you strap 4 kinda the same way you strap 2 ?? If you strapped 4 one ohm stable monos youd end up with a final minimum 4 ohm load? If you did it with a maxxlink link 2 amps would be - and 2 would be +?

dont do it. amps will blow up.

I dont plan on it, ive done 2 before with a maxxlink with great results. its just a thing i want to know incase i ever feel froggy

Maxxlink pretty easy just run the amps seperate off the maxxlink..

i know about strapping 2 pair on say 2 subs. 2 amps per woofer. but im talking 4 amps one sub

edit. i understand the maxxlink , i dont think id run the amps seperatly off of it if i was using 2 amps unless i was in a situation were i had to

it has nothing to do with the maxxlink.

strapping 2 mono amps is actually connecting their outputs in series. Most modern mono amps are designed to do that.

To strap more than 2, you would need to be able to parallel strap them, something that cannot be done with most mono amps. An amp has to be designed specifically for this. like the JBL Crown A6000GTI.

I know someone that built an isolation module to allow multiple MTX1501Ds to be connected in parallel, It connected to the speaker outputs and allowed the output to connect to the load, but not feed back to the other amp. but the high current created burnt the unit.

There is no telling what ohm load would be safe,

The maxx link is only a signal balancing module and has nothing to do with the output of an amp.

Besides, with 15,000w amps, there is no need.

I know you are curios and might wanna play around, but it isnt done for a reason.

You can certainly do 2 amps per voice coil if thats what you want.

Ya I understand all that.. Didn't know the crown amps could do that tho...

Maxxlink is pretty much the only way to go to run multiple 2+ amps

well if you have strappable amps, then you dont need any processors, just look at the amps manual. The maxxlink can help balance everything out but you dont need it to do 4 strappable amps to one DVC sub, or 8 strappable amps to one quad coil sub.

hhr- i know the maxxlink controls the signal and has nothing to do with output, you can set both amps with it. ive used one before and feel as tho i have a grasp on that part. at the time the 2 amps i was running were not strappable out of the box as alot of amps are these crunch pzi.3000.1 were not. as far as 2 per coil, that may bethe othe route to take but would the woofer fail. if you did that with a maxxlink youd have 2 pair being controled by the unit but from what ive heard you would not want to run to pair per coil because it would basicly be the same as running say 2 non strappable amps on one woofer, one amp per coil. 2 amps rarely make the same output at a set hz. i see what your saying about the specialy made amps running parrel to achive what i was originaly speaking of
