Strapping amps. I need help

I've never strapped 2 amps together and I just ordered my second amp. I'm going to be running 2 of the crecendo 3500's. I need help understanding how to connect them together. Also does doing this change how I should wire my subs to the master amp? I have 2 AQ HDC4 woofers with a dual 1 ohm VC's. thanks in advance

with dual ones, you would need to wire up to 4 ohm and wire like this 2m6u8ft.jpg that will put each amp at a final load of 2 ohm...if you strap at 1 ohm each amp will see .5 ohm and I don't recommend that, hope this helps

run them at .5 ea UNSTRAPPED and gain match yes its more work, but better in the long run. strapped amps are more sensitive IMO

@ fox racing I see what you are saying and that makes sense. I can gain match them with my cc-1 correct?

Also I use the PAC lc1 RCA controller for my bass knob. How can I use it to control both my amps? I would think a splitter would work but I don't want to cut down on the signal

If your amps have "output" rcas Use that to conect them Either that or a pair of Y splitters. You would put the pac inline with the RCA ten split the rcas at the amps
