Help on amps and final load

steelers909 · May 22, 2018

I’m gonna be ordering 2 sp4s and they come in dual 1 or dual 2. I was also gonna buy a 2nd Ampere 3800 and strap them since I have one in possession already. I’ve never strapped amps before so I’m kind of confused on how I’d end up with an overall 1 ohm load. Or should I just sell my AA3800 and run 1 stronger amp for the 2 subs?

I’d rather run one big amp.

Two amps strapped at 2ohm will be 1ohm final load per amp

agreed. i also think youd be better off running one bigger amp. the amount of watts that amps put out these days is pretty insane, so strapping them is becoming less and less necessary

x2, id use 1 amp

So far I haven’t found a decently priced stronger amp that I’d like but have found a 2nd amp.. I’d also rather just run one big amp, but since I have this amp already it’s easier to find a matching amp and a little cheaper. If I went with strapping the amps would I have to order my subs in a dual 1 or dual 2? I want to run at either 1ohm or .5 ohm the lowest after being strapped

not sure what you have sunk into that 3800 already, much less what an additional one would end up costing you, but ssa has them for $860 and i assume you paid over half of that even if your was used, that being said, the ct sounds team 7k is 1250 new

I spent 450 on this 3800 and can get a 2nd one for a little over 500.. I can’t see myself getting a CT just from the mixed things I’ve heard about them.
