larrys95civic Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 So this year Polk Audio amps are no longer strappable......and after many hours of discussion on this with reps, techs and the build house they will be soon but as of now the shipment I'm receiving won't be. So what I need is info on Hi-fonics Maxxlink MLX-100 or preferably another product that will do the same. I will be running 4 PA1000.1's and replacing them as soon as the strappable version is available so I don't want to drop 500 on something that will be used for a few months. I'm thinking the Maxxlink is the way I will be going but I'd like to get opinions on it if any or if someone has used something else for maybe a little more cash.

larrys95civic Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) MAxxlink has had major problems be very careful. Any suggestions on a viable substitute? I've been wracking my brain for an easy solution but all I can think of is a parametric eq (soundstream, clarion ect) with sub control for bass knob, gain matching and praying for the best lol. Any other ideas?

I'm pretty sure I am just putting to much thought into a problem with a simple solution. But here is what my issue is. Ok when you strap an amp you have a master and slave, master controls all and gives you matching setting for your slave amp. Well when wiring them you gain the others impedance, so if you wire both to 2 ohm you end up with a 1 ohm load. From what I understand of the Maxxlink it works the same way if your amps can not be strapped. Taking n8balls2013's advise of this being an inferior product I was hoping for suggestion of something that would work along the same parameters. And that is it in a nutshell LOL> Quote Team Superior SPL Former Installer at Driven Sound & Security http://www.drivenss.com All kinds of forsale threads http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164247-amps-subs-and-misc/#entry2383262 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164430-polk-audio-sda6000-sound-bar/#entry2386634 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164279-3-michael-kors-watches/#entry2383983 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164549-more-items-from-storage/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/166967-dd-9518s-amps-kenwood-custom-explorer-dash/ If someone is feeling generous I'd love an original sig LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
