Thewes Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 With how you're wiring it up, (master and slaving the amps) IS strapping the amps and you didn't complete it.Now, if you run an RCA cable from the RCA output (not BR out) on your first amp to the RCA input on your second amp, that won't be strapping the two amps but you'll have to match the gains. So the reason my subs are playing louder on one amp then two is because I didn't master/slave them correctly? Wouldn't as long as the amps receiving a signal from the other amp it would be louder than just 1 .5 ohm sundown 1500? I'm not sure but Ill try to strap them and see if that works out.

One of your subs wouldn't play correctly (with the two sundown's) thus causing wave cancellation and it seems less louder.

All right I figured it was cancellation of some sort due to my electrical being pretty stable. Some good news is, I strapped them like shown on the sundown website, letting the master take all the positive connections and the slave getting all the negatives. Needless to say its fucking loud, only problem now is it goes into protect on the lows because my lack of electrical, and I have a nice little engine noise going (bad rcas? I paid 40 bucks for them? Knuknonceptz?) Anyways, appreciate all your help. It BUMPS when its on haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banginAltima Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 also, it could be going into protect because your ohms are too low. Quote If you build it, db's will come...

Stephen Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have dual 2's, isnt it at 1 ohm? dual 2's would wire to a final load of 2ohms, split between 2 amps they are seeing 1 ohm each Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

Its not the ohm load, its just my shitty electrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
