Chris Lamp Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have two Power Acoustik bamf 4000/1Ds hooked up to two Power Acoustik 12" mofos, I put the two rcas into the first amps input L channel and R channel and have the switch to master. I then ran a single rca cable from the master out with a rca (splitter or Y) to the slave in and also tried the input L channel R channel. I tinkered with the phase and and all the other settings but can't get both subs to hit the same. Any suggestions on a way to setup each amp up or both the same way. And also with this amp being mono should I hook both positives to my postive box terminals and both negatives to my negative box terminals or is it recomended I hook it up another way? thanks for your time.

skittlesRgood Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 that master out isnt a daisy chain. its a way to set the amp if you strap two identical amps together. look at the instructions on strapping amps in your manual.

Tarball Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Keep your RCA from MASTER OUT (single RCA) to SLAVE IN (Single RCA) Connect ALL negative speaker outs from both amps to each other (meaning negatives from Master to negatives of Slave) Connect BOTH positive wires from the Master amp to Box(Speaker) + Set Phase on Master Amp to 0 Set Master Amp switch to MASTER Connect BOTH positive wires from the Slave amp to Box(Speaker) - Set Phase on Slave Amp to 180 Set Slave Amp switch to Slave Set your gains/LPF/Subsonic Filter/Bass EQ same on both Amps.

Tarball Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Not a direct cut and paste, but looked at the diagram and suggestions from the manual. Though the manual doesnt say anything about the LPF/EQ/Subsonic setting them the same surely won't hurt anything.

Tarball Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) and yes, the manual says to set the phase on the slave 180* out...that and setting the gains equal Edited February 14, 2012 by Tarball Quote CURRENT SYSTEM: Alternator: Stock alt on mids/highs Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v Batteries: (2) XS D1400s Power Cable: Double Runs of 1/0 KNU Kolossus Fleks Headunit: 80-PRS Sub Amp: DC 5.0k Subwoofers: 2 RE MT 15s /PSI dual .7ohm recones Subwoofer Enclosure: 9.1cubes @ 32hz - brutal.
