Posted September 2, 200718 yr has anyone tested this. is one louder then the other? and this can happen! my cyclop's were .2 louder when they were not strapped
September 2, 200718 yr 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
September 3, 200718 yr 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.
September 4, 200718 yr 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!?!?!Ray Farmer
