CommonSyns Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 How do I wire 2 subwoofer amps to one head unit? The 2 amplifiers are Skar 1500's and they are going probably each to each ZVX. Or should I just strap them? Trying to get maximum power from the amplifier(S) to the subwoofers.

Noel989 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 1. Strap if possible 2. Split the RCA gain match You can try both see which gives better results for you. Cause some say the lost DBS when strapping some didn't What coils did you get for the subs?

CommonSyns Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm actually trying to figure that out now the coil impedance, I don't know what to get because I don't know what would be better, Strapping or one amp to each sub. I do know that I want to run them at 1 ohm because, when I upgrade amps sometime in the late future I am going to get the Skar 4500.1 and I would like to run them at 1 ohm and not the famous .5 ohms.

CommonSyns Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have both the CC-1 and the DD-1 so I can set the gain and then match the gain for both amps.

CommonSyns Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 So, I was thinking if I did the setup of each amp to a sub would I need Y-Splitters for behind my head unit and another pair of RCA's for the Y-Splitters?

Noel989 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Either in the front or the back You'll still need 2 y splitters If you strap your final ohm load should be 2 cause that's were most amps are stable when strapped I wish I could tell you which one would work better I've read here it could go either way If you get 2 d2 subs youll be able to try both But if you wire them to a single amp your wiring options are .5 or 2 ohms Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonSyns Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 What do you mean by either way? I'll probably be getting the D2 style.

CommonSyns Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 So I would need 2 Y- Splitters the ones that are 2 female and 1 male, with 2 RCA cables.

Noel989 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 You can put the y splitters in the back of the head unit or near your amps 2 y splitters 1 female into 2 male Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
