Priuslows Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 When setting gains on strapped amps do in use the terminals from the master or leads going to the subwoofer Ex. Positive from slave is (-) and positive from master is (+). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiBo Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 If it we're me I'd set the gain on one amp without it being strapped then I'd strap the amps together and not mess with anything. The slave amp automatically falls in line with the master. I've heard that a weaker slave amp is bad because the master can cause the slave to clip. Seems a little extreme to me but it makes sense. It'd be nice if all amps came with a birth sheet haha. Just food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CstrokerV Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 If you do the measuring one and then strapping you need to do both amps to see what one distorts first and put that one as master Quote 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...
