I would dd both of them though. Find out which amp has the lower voltage out clean and use that as my master. If you have the higher voltage as your master you may cause the other amp to put out a slightly dirty signal. It probably won't be much but if you are going through all that trouble might as well cross the ts and dot the is
i already did that lol.
when i tested the amps single 1 to each sub i set each amp with the dd-1 and to the eye both gains looked identical and when i checked with the meter thy were with in a tenth of each other .
and btw i am using track # 3

The positve output is on the master amp. Just dd1 that amp while they are strapped and you should be fine.
Just don't use track 7
quick question here . the amps are the new sundown 5k so when i check the power out from the master do i need any thing else connected to the speaker out ? only reason i asked is i followed the sundown diagram on how to strapp expect i forgot to connect the negative speaker out form master to to slave and the subs went crazy lol.

No, when Matching gains, you set both. Then hook a DMM up to them to read the output voltage. Then you take the lower of the two numbers, and make sure both your amps are showing the exact same number.
you are correct if i was to run each amp as a single setup but when u strap the master controls both amps .
If the technology of that specific amplifier is like that, where you set all settings on master amp than yes, leave the slave alone. I lokoed past that fact when I was explaining. I was thinking of using 2 non strappable amplifiers to gain match.
i appreciate u trying to help and trying to be respect full here but u obviously have never used amps strapped because all of the ones i have seen work like what i described the master will control the slave ( this is not my amplifier specific ) dc, sundown,dd,ampere audio,crescendo etc
also i do not wish to experiment or assume i would rather have somebody that has actually used the dd-1 on a strapped setup post from experience .
thanks

Yeah but what about strapped? The slave amp gain is all the way down.
u are correct once strapped the slave setting do not matter

oops dbl post .

i have been using the dd-1 on single amp setup for a while and recently decided to go with 2 strapped so my question is do i set the gain on master and assume once strapped they will both be set correct ?
i looked around the dd-1 manual and it does not mention anything about this topic.
dd-1 setting gains on strapped amps .

not really lol.
the question was not how to strap but the proper way to set the gains while strapped using the dd-1
