girlcrazy_4 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I purchased two 2k amplifiers with the impression I could hook them together for 4000watts! After purchase I realized I can run them only at 2ohms strapped together giving me a total of 2400watts rms. GAY I am wanting to purchase a lvlXL or lvl5 15" but now my amplifiers are going to be way to small. I had another bright idea of hooking 1 amp ber voice coil... but my installer told me that could not be done since it is nearly impossible to tune the amps perfectly together. So now what??????? Do I just keep my lvl3 and keep overpowering it, or should I sell everything (that i've only owned for 14 days) and do another complete upgrade to a 3.5k and a new sub. HELPS!!!!!!!!

Your installer is wrong. You can gain match amps, see the SMD CC-1Edit: if you were local I would bet your installer the cost of a CC-1 that i could prove him wrong, then use his cash to reimburse myself for it!

girlcrazy_4 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I have Dual DC 2k amplifiers. Yes, my installer had dd-1 and cc-1 but between all the different settings (gain, freq etc) I dont see how its possible to match them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girlcrazy_4 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 He just recently purchased the cc-1 and I dont have full confidence in him yet. I did a google search also and everyone said what i want to do is impossible so I came here to the boards to ask myself. Can this process be explained to me? (and backed up by someone else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the whole point of owning tools is using them to their potential. Do yourself and your installer a favor and both of you watch this.. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J0m9OJbkV8Q Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and backed up by someone else) See post #8 If you don't trust him don't let him touch your ride. I wouldn't trust a mechanic to do my oil change if he had a oil filter wrench and thought it was a cup holder. Props to dude for having those tools, but shame on him for calling himself an installer and not knowing how to use them.
