To Strap Or Not To Strap

[Lingerfelt 10+ year member]

Ok, so I have two SAZ1500s and plan on running 4 D4 12" Type R's (I'm getting the second pair for a killer deal).

I can either run one amp per pair, or run all four on the amps strapped.

In either case, each amp will be running at 1 ohm.

Which is more efficient, which is more powerful, and which would you do?

IIRC strapping them is more powerful but less efficient.

Try both?

Can your electrical handle 400amps? Cus thats what they will draw idling if strapped?

As soon as it hit my knee, I knew it was time to strap... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Polo..

If running the two strapped is less efficient, I'll run them seperately. Especially after reading in almost every other post how much more power is required for an audible difference. I love this site. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

And no, my electrical is not up to par. I will be running all four off one SAZ until I get my high output alternator down the road. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
