Trâgîk Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Tuning with strapped amps, do i leave the wire between the two negative speaker terminals? And where do i actually put the leads to read the output of the amPs? I just didnt know if i would mess anything up leaving the jumper wire or something. Just a little overview would be helpful Quote -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 well if its like the sundowns, one amp is the - and one is the + so you measure with a lead on each amp and not the "-" wires from one amp to another. but you do leave those "-" wires on. when i tuned mine I was told to gain match each amp then strap them together. strapping should just bypass the slave's gain but he insisted it made a small difference lol. but once you strap them together you should have the correct tuning still.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 You leave the jumper in, the amps have to be linked in order to get them set, otherwise you just have two amps that are open ended, the circuit isn't complete.

Ok cool im glad you told me that because i was trying to see that in your video and couldnt tell. i actually took out the jumper from negative to negative and i still got my voltage but idk if it was right, ill do it again with the jumper and see if it changes.
