how to wire up 2 amps.

Recommended Posts

im going to be purchasing 2 hifoinics brutus amps 2400 @ 1 ohm this weekend and running them on 2 treo 12 inch SSX. i notice on the amps theres a master and slave and from what i understand is they can be strapped to each other.

my question tho is im going to be running one amp per sub and was wondering how the wiring goes for that. im mainly talking about the RCA cables. also installing a kenwood double din 318 deck if u need that info.

thanks for your help and have a wonderful afternoon/evening

depends if yours is the dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm.

Henry Ford once received a letter from a depression-era bank robber responsible for the deaths of several law enforcement officers, killed in their attempt to stop him as he fled the crime scene. In his letter, he thanked Mr. Ford for making his Model A Ford such a good getaway car.

The Brutus amps (the bigger ones, at least) have seperate outputs from the master/slave RCA in/out. Use the RCA preamp output of your HU to the input of the 1st amp. RCA the regular output of the first amp to the input of the second amp.

If, for whatever reason the ones you pick up don't have the output which isn't master/slave, just split the RCA output of the HU right before the first amp. Doing this doesn't lower the input voltage into either of the amps, it just raises the impedance a little.
