Two strapped 20.1's at .5 ohm?

[Bolognablake 10+ year member]

Would the 20.1's handle that straped? I've got one, and I've been offered a trade for another one. I figure my BTL can take the abuse.

I know my Trailblazer's electrical system will hate me.

Pretty sure I've heard 'em take .35 daily, not sure bout .25...

Bump for the answer. I wanna know, too.

Yes...

Any idea on how many amps they will draw at full tilt?

I would like to see you try.

But I doubt 2 unmodified 20.1's will run at .25 ohms daily.

Yes...

.25ohm nominal right? thats .175ohm dcr.

from what ive read up on these they'll burp that. i just guessing but id assuming you have either a .5ohm load (.35ohm dcr) or a 2 ohm (1.4ohm dcr to work with? run a 2 ohm load, making a 1 ohm load per amp for daily. thats a good 3500 ish watts...plenty for daily...

then burp the ****ers hella low for comps. id work on the electrical system an make sure thats up to par. but itll work

lol @ this thread...I JUST.

Ran a pair of 20.1s Strapped @ .35 ohms (each amp seeing .175 ohms)

on a 250 mile road trip...Beating on them the whole way. Of course I have a pretty ballsy electrical system. But still...If you have the electrical backup...they will take it.

I just aimed my AC vents at the amps, and they stayed pretty cool the whole trip.

They will do it if you can back it up with a SOLID electrical system, but you won't see anyone at IA recommending it for daily as it will likely shorten the lifespan of the amp.

my 40 however gets HOT. 1 ohm load, cruising at low volume, pretty warm to the touch.

Was just going to post that when I read his comment.

I'd wire to 2 ohms and strap the amps...
