Strapping 2 RF T10001bd?

[ewoevo 10+ year member]

Are these amps capable of being strapped or would they need to run separate? If so, what kind of power am I looking at, with supporting electrical of course? I looked on the RF website and they do have the capability (looking at the amps), but RF doesn't say anywhere they can be bridged nor give an wattge rating for them bridged. FYI, I'll be putting them on 2 Kicker S12L7's (2 ohm dvc).

Yes they are linkable by looking at the picture. Ampguts says they are 1000 at 1 ohm, but doesnt say if its stable.

1 x 500W @ 4 ohms

1 x 700W @ 2 ohms

1 x 1000W @ 1 ohm

Of course its stable, one hell of an amp.

Thats good to know. Honestly i havent ran any fosgate's since the punch 150's:crap:

Yes they are strappable but a bdsync cable from RF is needed. These are very under-rated amps that do around 1500watts @ 1ohm. You'll see around 3k @ 2ohm from a pair strapped.

I know they do about 1500 rms at 1 ohm, according to most people. I need them to be strapped for street stock, though. I'd need to run each at 2 ohm to see a final 1 ohm load, correct?

Final load of 2 ohms, plus.. you have 2 D2 subs, cant wire them for a final load of 1 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You are correct. I'll need to get dual 4 ohm.

No you don't if you're strapping them i'm pretty sure they're strappable @ 2 ohms, not 1 ohm

strap them and series the coils on each sub then parallel the 2 wires at the amp

Ahh, I got it. I need to wire each sub (dual 2 ohm) parallel, then series them together for a 2 ohm load at the amp.

Yeah, I used to run power 300's.

Thats one i never got my hands on... i really would like to

 

[jdawg 5,000+ posts]

i would series them on the coils them paalell them on the amp

That works for me.
