Look at the post above. Do it with the amps unloaded. That's where people usually get confused

Op strap them. They have protection circuits..

What ohm load would I be running if I strap them to 4 d1 sub's?

Thanks for all the reply guys. I think ima strap them then. As soon as i got the equipment i will post pictures of my build. Going to start from the ground up. Still looking for the best possible enclosure build for my station wagon. Dont want to wall them.

If i get a experienced guy in the area i will ask if he can gain match the amps.

Guess one else will help series woul be 8ohm

Parallel would .125 if you series each driver then parallel them its .5 the other option off on a graph for you cuz it's confusing but what new duet series h drol combine two in in parallel and then combine all of them in series

12 volt don't tell you about strapping I don't want my amps running @.5 ohm each just to see a 1 ohm load I'll just gain match mines I know some guys that's pretty handy at tuning amps,dsp's, etc. That'll help out with that even though I want to really do everything myself but I guess everybody needs a little help every now and than. Plus between all 4 of my amps I have about 3k invested so messing up isn't really a option lol

I hear u on that. Im also investing 4k euro into my system. But 12volt does show u your wiring options for the sub. You just have to see if your strapped amp deliveres a final 2ohm load as strapped i think always add up to 2 ohm final load.

If i strapped my 2 amps i would get 7000rms at 2 ohm.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Appreciate the help.

Amps will each see half of your final load if your subs are wired to 1ohm your amps each see .5ohm
