strapping amps.


Recommended Posts

lol no i never said more power but if someone only had one 4500 sundown.. and needed another 4500 watt of power.. they just buy another one and strap em for a 2 ohm load at 9000 watts.. thats considered more power than 2 amps seperately at 2 ohms each?? right or wrong?? i know i'm right on this!!!

the total load is 2ohm but each amp still sees the 1ohm load so nothing chages

Btw that was the first person. Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged

but like i said its pointless to strap 2 amps together.. unless you want better efficiency..

efficiency wouldnt change any look at my above post

true, they still see 1ohm each but efficiency does change. running them strapped lowers efficiency but only by a couple percent.

the benefit of strapping is a little simplicity. you dont have to gain/crossover match. you can use the gain remote that comes with the amp. dont have to split RCAs. its very helpful if you have 2 amps on one sub.

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.

Exactly gain matching is one reason you have a master and a slave. plus you can use a bass knob or bass gain. on my DD amps the gain knob has a clip light so thats a big plus. you can stapp those sundowns lower than 2 ohm i bet with the proper electrical . i have my DDs strapped at .7 so each amp sees .35 and im getting 12k of power out of them. i tried unstrapped lost my gain knob didnt have the overall control i had, and put up same numbers. so strapp them

ya, you can strap the sundowns lower. my 1500's were strapped at .5ohm for a while. not that I would recommend doing it lol. you have to be ok with rolling the dice.
