[QUOTE="Drummer65, post: 7825567, member: 619964"] The strapped amps split the final load. So if you wire your sub up to 4 ohms, each amplifier will see 2 ohms. If you wire your sub down to 1 ohm your amps will see .5 ohms each. If you have wired a 2 ohm final load on your sub, each amp will see 1 ohm and do the rated power for that ohm load. Generally manufactures do not recommend wiring down below 1 ohm. That is why they recommend a 2ohm final load for strapped amps, because each amp see's 1 ohm [/QUOTE]
