Strapping amps.

Silver Member Username: Mr_keboAlbertville, Al USA Post Number: 685 Registered: Nov-04 | When strapping amps do you have to set the gains on both amps or just one? |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3611 Registered: Mar-04 | 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. |

Silver Member Username: Mr_keboAlbertville, Al USA Post Number: 688 Registered: Nov-04 | 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 |

Silver Member Username: Mr_keboAlbertville, Al USA Post Number: 689 Registered: Nov-04 | 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. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3614 Registered: Mar-04 | 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. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3615 Registered: Mar-04 | if you get 3500w out of those amps...i will be stunned. i HIGHLY doubt they will give you that much power. 3000w...maybe. |

Silver Member Username: J_baby15Kentucky Post Number: 685 Registered: Feb-06 | Marshall check ur email if you can. can an orion 2500d be strapped with another? |
|
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3616 Registered: Mar-04 | no...the 2500d and the new d5000's are not strappable. |
|
Silver Member Username: Mr_keboAlbertville, Al USA Post Number: 692 Registered: Nov-04 | *QUOTE* 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.... |

|
Silver Member Username: Mr_keboAlbertville, Al USA Post Number: 698 Registered: Nov-04 | They benchmark the 9.1@1ohm doing 1850 watts. still dont beleive that guy getting 4500 from a strapped pair. |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7759 Registered: Aug-05 | 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 |
