I have one of the old RF bass couplers that I used for my 2 1050s but I'm not sure if it'll work for the para-punch knobs.

I haven't got to play with the new slim line yet but I think they might be useing CAT 5 terminations now.

I know they use them on the T10001,T20001,T40001 BDs so it wouldn't be possible to use the RFC3215 Bass coupler if the slim line Uses CAT 5 ends.

To big to fit into the holes.

What bugs me is I don't understand why RF feels people are't going to run multiple amps when they design certain models.

I assume they DO expect ppl to run multiple amps since they provide the RCA outs to make it easier.

I got the two amps installed tonight but haven't had a chance to play with them much yet.

Actually the same RJ-45 cable that was used for my 1050s also works for my T40001.

RCA outs are common on 80% of amps produced.

Come in real handy if your head unit only has one preamp output.

None the less Let me know how those things do.

I read they are only 67% efficient at 1 ohm around 80% at 2 and 4 ohm.

Enjoy man.

Just wanted to update this in case anybody else was trying to do the same thing. I posted the same question on the RF forums last week and got no replies so it still looks like ISO was right by saying that it can't be done (using the RF remote).

I did try running the remote to the first amp but it doesn't affect the rca outs for the second amp. Instead of trying to splice 2 cables together, I just went to plan B - use the sub level control on my EQ (in dash) to achieve basically the same thing as the RCA line level controller, only down side is I have to use buttons to control it instead of a knob - not nearly as convenient. Someday, I'll build separate chambers for the subs and will just run 2 RF remote knobs - or get a bigger amp to replace the 2 1500s as LoudBlazer suggested. <_<
