Jskiles Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Yes it may be working like that but that doesn't mean it's the correct way. Did you look at the manual from RE Audio at all?

Tarball Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) you should be fine wired like that. Basically a monoblock amp (by definition) is a single channel amplifier, there is nothing to bridge. On a stereo amp you would NEED to wire that way to bridge it, but for a monoblock, the 2 positive and 2 negative terminals are normally parellel on the inside of the amp. So take the positive for example. Regardless of which + output on the amp you connect to, you are still closing the same circuit.

HunterJohnson Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 your level is your gain you don't want to turn that thing up more than 3/4 without proper equipment because it can send a clipped/distorted signal which isnt good lol Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmw703 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Set your gain with a DMM , while doing that you'll be able to see if the amp is even putting out enough voltage.
