Keveeno Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have 3 aq 3500.1's and 3 fi sp4 18's. If I had 1 amp be the master amp and the other 2 amps be the slave amps, each sub would have it's own amp, will this work? If not, how can I make this work?

bighossf150 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Cant strap 3 aq's. You need to gain match them Used to have a loud truck 2009 Corvette Z06, H/C/I, 150 shot, g force tune, 730rwhp/690rwtq 2013 F-150 limited, MPT Tune, leveled on 35"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CstrokerV Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 you have to leave all 3 on master. Just build 3 different chambers if you can't gain match the amps properly. my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keveeno Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 What is the best way to gain match properly? I'm assuming that I would have to buy RCA splitters to send signal to all three amps. How do I also narrow down to 1 bass knob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant help with the gain matching but or the bass knob you can use a pac lc1 inline with the rcas and use splitters at the amps 2002 Honda CR-VAlpine 9887My BuildRebuilding...

sodfamily Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 You will need DMM to gain match. Just Y the rca's to get signal to all three amps. Set your amps to unclipped (CLEAN) power. Put you DMM on the first amp and burp it get your voltage from that one. Do the same for the next two. Take your lowest voltage and set the other two to that. This is a very high level how to, but that is the basis of how to gain match multiple amps. And to answer the bass knob quextion a PAC LC-1 is a cheap solution.
