Guest Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yeah couldn't you just strap them and gain match it? you dont need to gain match strapped amps. everything is controlled via the amp that is set as the Master. knob positions dont matter whatsoever for the slave amp.

Huh I didn't know that. I've never dealt with strapped amps before, I just know it's an option. Or the OP could get a good quality amp and run it at .5 ohms if it'd be more cost efficient. My Sundown SAZ-1500d v.3 runs 2k at .5 ohms without breaking a sweat.

When you strap amps there is a strap in/out on each one and you use one RCA cable between them. Speaker connections are between the two and there is a jumper between negative speaker outs. Once you have that little bit of interconnectivity, you treat them just like any other single amp and use the controls on the master for settings.

JEFFYBOI Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I was going to post a picture but couldn't figure it out. can I strap this amp? I don't see a strap in or out on it. Its a SPL gla1-6000D. Its a cheap amp but if I can get atleast 1k out of each amp that's perfect for me Quote "Toyota Camry rebuild page 21 (link)http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183768-94-crossfire-camry-18s-walled-singer-alt-has-arrived-rebuild-starts-pg-10/page-21 PIONEER DEH-P8400BH 2 CROSSFIRE C5 1700D 2 CROSSFIRE C7 18 HOOD.
