When strapping amps do you have to set the gains on both amps or just one?

depends on what type of 'strapping' you are talking about.

amps like orion 1200d's---you just set one amp to master and one to slave...then set the gain and other setting on the master amp.

ok. A guy on the eD forums just told me i could expect 3500 from the strapped pair easily. How will the 15"HD3 take that daily? Would i be better off with a 15" loaded BTL

The manual that comes with the amps will show you how to wire it up. Im sure marshall can chime in and tell exactly how.

w/ alot of amp...this is how you strap them:


-run a mono RCA from one amp to the other

-you set one amp to master, one to slave.

-run the + speaker terminals on the master amp to the + terminals on the sub.

-run the + terminals on the slave amp to the - terminals on the sub

-run a jumper from the master's - terminal to the slaves - terminal.

the master amp will act like your pos. voltage rail, and the slave amp will act like your neg. voltage rail.

if you get 3500w out of those amps...i will be stunned.

i HIGHLY doubt they will give you that much power.

3000w...maybe.

no...the 2500d and the new d5000's are not strappable.

at 1 ohm... you had better have a very solid source of voltage for them... but figure around 3000-3500+

in an extreme case, with the ams pushed way too hard (and with waaaay too little battery source for the application) i managed to get 4500 from a pair....

that is probably my favorite car audio term.

Master/slave. :-)

when you say that in front of somebody who doesn't know what you are talking about, they will give you that thousand-yard stare until you explain it to them. hahahahahahaha
