EricM9104 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 depends on how you wire the subs to the amps. you'll want 2ohms strapped though, 1ohm per amp. 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 110k miles | Stock 1996 GMC Yukon SLT 4dr 4wd | 260k miles | JVC Head-unit
jonatan Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Posted September 7, 2009 depends on how you wire the subs to the amps.you'll want 2ohms strapped though, 1ohm per amp. will have 2 subs dual 4's dropped to 1 ohm together, don't most amps when straped go to 2ohm ??

Boon Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 will have 2 subs dual 4's dropped to 1 ohm together, don't most amps when straped go to 2ohm ?? Depends what load they're connected to. You strap 2 amps to a 8 ohm load and they'll see 4 ohms each... When strapping you HALVE the load. Each amp gets half the ohm load. So if you wire your subs to 1 ohm then strap your amps, they'll see 0.5 ohms each and probably won't be very happy. 10.x volts fo' life!

Lowroll Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 I have 4 d4 subs, when I strapped my amps I had to wire each pair of subs to 2 ohms, so each sub saw 1 ohm (I think) but before I did that I had them strapped @ .5 ohms & the amps were goig into protect after 1 hit. Testerday I unstrapped my amps & they made sooooooo much more power. not sure why. I thought strapping was to make more power.
