will be louder strapped i have tested this with my 2 3000s with 2 fi btls 12s fully loaded but different subs could mean the difference

Really depends... in general the strapped pair will be slightly less efficient but in some instances, and I don't know exactly why, people are slightly louder when the amps are strapped. *Usually* un-strapped is louder but requires careful gain matching.

Yes, I have expirenced amps that are unstrapped are louder than strapped. I it has to do with the amps efficiency. Goliaths, louder strapped. Stetsoms louder unstrapped. Sundown amps same either way!?!?!
