tristan560 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Would it be more efficient to run my amps strapped at 2 ohms than having them both running at 1ohm? <u>99 Jimmy SLT 4WD</u> Systemless. <u>99 Grand Prix GTP</u> DC XL 12 on 1.5k tuned lowwwwww.
basshead4life Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 dont quote me on this but i dont think so because theres still gonna be a final 1 ohm load to each amp. Team S.M.D. Maritime Car Audio- (2) 18" SSA ZCON D1 - American Bass 500.1 - 60 ft of 3/0 -480 Ah of battery - (2) stock alternators (70 +90) - Kenwood Excelon x-794, 4v preouts car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol
iTech Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Would it be more efficient to run my amps strapped at 2 ohms than having them both running at 1ohm? I think it would be the same. Both end up being 1 Ohm. The whole point to strapping is so all the settings(Gains, LPF, SubSonic Filter, etc.) would be matched My Official Feedback Thread PSN - tech2332 Games for PS3: Killzone 2, BattleField: Bad Company 2! Add me to play either!
Nate197 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 I think it would be the same. Both end up being 1 Ohm. The whole point to strapping is so all the settings(Gains, LPF, SubSonic Filter, etc.) would be matched I always wondered if you sync two or more amps, what happens if all the amps are a couple hundred watts off a piece. Even though the amps are the same model, doesn't mean they both have the same amount of watts. Example two 2000 watt amps, one might be 2100 watts and the other may be 1900 watts.
skittlesRgood Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 the test results on the saz-1500's says that they are more efficient unstrapped. i dont know if that goes for all amps but thats the only example i have. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

tristan560 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 yeah i was thinkin the same thing seen as both amps are wired down to 1 ohm....just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing something. <u>99 Jimmy SLT 4WD</u> Systemless. <u>99 Grand Prix GTP</u> DC XL 12 on 1.5k tuned lowwwwww.
siucsaluki11 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 some amps have a master/slave mode, i believe that makes sure that the amps are set the same. Dont quote me on it, but im fairly sure. woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

Boon Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Same efficiency, the amps see exactly the same load, 1 ohm each. If one amp is making a tiny bit more rail voltage or something then one side of the wave will clip before the other does Up to that point they'll behave exactly the same. 10.x volts fo' life!
banginAltima Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 I believe you won't get as much rise unstrapped. Strapped amp act like one large amp. If you build it, db's will come...
