what ohm load do you go with if you are using a maxxlink to hook up 4 amps that are 1 ohm stable and 2 ohm strapped I didnt know if the maxxlink effected the ohm load you would use.

Not sure, but I have 4-15" btl's and they are 1.5ohm a side. I am running them in parralel and strapped. So I have a .35 load to split between the two amps lol!


Ps. I'll be posting a new thread on how not to run 4 amps strapped! [Smile]

when you strap a pair of amps each amp sees half of the impedence.

So if you are running at .35 strapped then each amp is seeing .175

Actually I decided against that, and yes I am aware of that Poof. My DMM was showing 0 ohms? So I re-wired for series instead of parralel and am now showing 2ohm which will put 1ohm to each amp.

I hooked it back up last night and tested with no difference then when I was running one sub to each of the four amps, 154.4 [Frown]
