skittlesRgood Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 as for strapping 6 amps, every time you strap an amp it does it's rated power at higher impedance, if that makes sense. I'm sure if I explain this wrong someone will be able to correct me, but for example I know the aq 2200 does 2200@ 1ohm, when you strap two of those together it becomes 4400@ 2ohms, 3 would be xxxx power @ 4ohms, and so on. in my personal opinion it would be much more beneficial to use less more powerful amps with an rca level knob, when you turn that knob down you wont be drawing the same amount of power as if it was turned all the way up, if that's what you're getting at with all of this. the strapped amps split the resistance. so you wire to 2 ohms for each amp to see 1ohm. but you cant strap more than 2 amps together.

zayres29 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 why not just get a rca bass knob? its a lot easier and instead of get a bunch of different amps why dont you just get 1 big amp or 2 big amps? more amps means more money.... the amps alone will cost more to buy 6 smaller amps then a couple big ones .... the wire is gonna cost more, your gonna need more power to run the amps.....imho its not worth it going by what prices i have access to 2 3500s is $100 less than 6 1500s and the smaller amps would make the power more efficiently i have wire and ill be sure to work on the electrical because either way im going to have to beef it up ALOT Quote Btw that was the first person.

I remembered some thread a while ago talking about if more than two amps were strapped together, I really should just stop talking out of my ass I didn't mean to make it seem like he did in fact have the option to do it.
