Two amps, strapped vs. individual, what's the difference?

[itsblown 10+ year member]

There is quite a large list of amps I would trust running at .5 ohms. If you have the electrical to back it that is.

The pair of subs can be 0.5 or 2 ohms final load. I doubt I'll find a good price on an amp that can do 4k at 2 ohms! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I sold Stetsom 4K2D a month or so ago for around 500. Strapping to 2 ohm load with two 1 ohm stable amps would be fine.

Somebody on here has an mmats 3500.05 that will work well for you. I think his name is @Bwap

Ampere audio 3800.1 can be ran at .5 daily with ease.. One for sale now in classifieds for 550 like new

Why do companies NEVER list if their amp works at .5 ohm?? Spec sheet for that amp says "Stable down to 1 ohm" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
I'll check it out in the classifieds, thanks for the info //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Have you looked at Lanzar opti amps?

Lanzar OPTI4601D $540

4600 at .5 ohm (not sure how accurate that is though)

I had not seen that one before. Specs and features look awesome!! Says good down to 15hz. Even if it did 4k at 0.5 I'd be happy!!!

the lanzar Opti line is a good line of amps. The 4601d will be just fine for what you are looking for. just make sure you have the electrical to back it up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/2thumbs.gif.fdc3ba010dbb42b61704534b46d02fe4.gif

wait hold up......

.....if you connect one amps "output" RCA to another amps "input" RCA, is that strapping?

No.

I couldn't find a single 4k @ 0.5 ohm amp that was around the price of two BRX2400's ($550). If you have something you'd recommend around that price please let me know!

4k and warrantied at a .5 load ... Under budget as well

A BC3500 would do more than 4K at half an ohm. If you've got the electrical for it, they're great amps for the price.

And if you buy new, you can get a .5 ohm warranty. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

No amps that are strappable often have a seperate set of RCA's for strapping.

fair call, I've got the old kx1200.1 kicker mono amp running a dd9510g in my car, wanted to get another one and strap it to give the 10inch more power, then found out once they are strapped the min impedance allowd is 2 ohm so I would actually get less pwr to the sup by running two strapped 1200.1's as aposed to 1x 1200.1 at 1 ohm..... I wasn't happy ay. glad your doing some research befor going balls deep with buying stuff

You do realize when you strap an amp it effectively halves the load the amp see's right? So an amp that puts out 1k at 2ohms and 2k at 1ohm, when strapped would only be stable at 2ohms, but would put out 4k at that impedence as a pair, so obviously that's the lowest it will go, it's already putting out as much as 2 amps should.

ampere is a better bet. your brutus arent going to put out what you want. i have the brx 2400 and its not the worst but i could have gotten way better for just a lil more money
