If you take it to a shop, they are just going to do the same thing we are telling him to do. Set a proper gain level on amp 1, measure amp 1 ACV, set gain of amp 2 to make ACV of amp 2 match amp 1 ACV.

alex912005 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Those aren't strappable. Your best bet is to gain match them using a multimeter. My Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Just gonna throw this out there but if you are only running one sub gain matching is not a requirement and the two coils receiving different amounts of power would do absolutely no damage of any kind assuming its clean power and neither one is not being over driven. Gain matching is important when running multiple drivers in a shared enclosure though. Long story short, make sure gains are set properly and let her rip. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Shine pro Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I seen 4 amps ran to the same sub back in the day. Audiobaghn quadcoil sub with a mono lock per coil. Dude was competing and had 2 15” and 8 Mono blocks so yes it can be done. This was of course back in the day “early 90’s” when high wattage amps where super expensive and not as readily avalable as today. You young guys got it made with all these $1000 dollar 5k’s!

Used to be about a dollar a watt, now if you arent getting 5 watts per dollar or more, it aint a good deal.

BobbyG2 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 You don't need to gain match with a single sub. The only time you'd need to gain match is if you couldn't hook up every amp to every sub. Set the gains with a DD1 or Oscope to get the maximum clean power out of each amp as possible. Gain matching (reducing the higher powered amp to match the lower powered amp) will only mean lower power to your sub. You would need to phase match, but it looks like the amp has a switch instead of a knob so luckily for you that's taken care of. *New vehicle and system coming soon.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
