A couple of reasons. When you put your leads on the speaker outputs, the woofers are then in parallel with the amp internals. Also your meter measures resistance and not impedence. It must be calculated via clamp/dmm method with a nice accurate clamp. Otherwise you're just as well off to stick your thumb up your ass, tell how much it hurts on a level from 1-50 and call it good.
So do they strap in parallel? I guess I didn't realize how many amps do that. If the AQ's are Korean boards I don't think they would work at all if wired wrong. I could be wrong but I believe they all strap in series in half-bridge mode. The negatives of each amp are connected together. The master amp's positive output is the positive output and the slave's positive output is the negative. Without the slave, the master would not be in half-bridge mode, but it's negative would be connected to the slave amp and not the woofers. So he might blow one or both amps, but there shouldn't be any output to the woofers.
I had two aq 2200 at a comp and none of us could get them to strap properly... The master would stay functional while the slave would go into protect... We tried all kinds of different ways but couldn't get it so we gave up and just ran one to each coil on the 15
It's possible. Or they are just designed to be strapped some other way. I have no clue.
wow... you sig is wrong in so many ways... but to funny
lol ok i was wrong. so would doing what i said actually hurt anything or just not get the answer you want?
I don't think it would hurt anything. It certainly wouldn't tell you what you wanted to know though.
