CommonSyns Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I have 2 SK 1500.1's and I also have 2 remote gain knobs. I am doing 1 amp to each ZVX, How and can I set it up so that 1 knob controls both amps? I'm not strapping them together. I just want to know if I can hook up 1 gain knob to both amps.

sayhuh? Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Screw those knobs. Go with this http://www.amazon.com/PAC-Remote-Amplifier-Level-Controller/dp/B0002J226O Runs thru RCAs, and I imagine you will only have one set running to both amps. Much much better way to go.

bassfreake Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 If the amps are strappable you can just strap them and run the remote to the master Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

bassfreake Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Hmm... If you can't/don't want to strap them for whatever reason... Idk for sure if this would work but you could try using a splitter?

Amart88 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I would just do what sayhuh said and look at the Pac LC-1's. That's what I have, I never had much luck with those remote knobs. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the PAC LC-1 Yes, what we said lol. On strapping, he may not be able to depending on impedance. Strapping has to be 2 ohms vs his subs together may not wire to 2 ohm.

bassfreake Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I thought when you strapped something it took whatever you wired to and cut the impedance in half anyway ? so if he wired to what would usually be 4 ohm it would end up being 2 ohm ? but hey multiple ppl said the RCA cable remote would work so who am I to disagree lol I just suggested the splitter cuz I figured the RCA remote would work a little differently than the regular amp remote isn't that remote usually either fine gain control or bass boost control depending on the amp? I would think the RCA one would wind up being almost more like a volume knob so I was just offering an alternative in case he wanted to keep the same functionality as the regular remote but just have it work for both amps wasn't trying to dispute what anyone was saying or say anyone was wrong just offering an alternative that I thought of.

Actually, subs wired a certain way only impacts impedance, not amps. Amps only do what the subs tell them to. With the knob, No also. The Pac will be better and easier. Basically, as a wise man once said, 'They tie inline with your RCA's and attenuate the signal instead of adjusting amp settings.' Basically, it only adjust the signal that the rca send vs adjust the 'gain' like normal bass knobs do. If that makes sense??? Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
