Well I have 2 3000D'S and the original plan was to strap them and hook them up to my 2 btl's. The problem is that the subs are d2... so if I strap them it will be a .5 ohm load per amp, correct? I've never strapped before so I'm not too sure about the process.

If this is the case and it won't work I would want to hook each amp to each sub individually and would have a 1 ohm load per amp... if I did this how would I set the gains to match eachother?

Also I have plenty of electrical behind these amps... about 800 AH of storage and 6000 CCA along with 2 dc power 250 sps.

Thanks for the help!

I would think that if you ran the two amps not strapped, a DMM would be able to tell you when they are matched. Although, I've been wrong before. lol

Anyone else?

you could just parallel the coils on the sub to get 1ohm per sub, then run the subs series and get a 2ohm total which would give you 1ohm per amp

Thanks a lot! If I strap these amps, if one amp goes they both burn up dont they?

In the sundown section of the forum there is a thread on how to strap the amps together. I have two saz1500s strapped together and its pretty easy to do. You will have a final 2ohm load. I have two d2 Xcons and they wire easy to 2 ohm. No idea on the burning up together part but they are linked together when strapped so probably.
