Strapping D’Amore E1500.1 Amps with DD ZVL

Looking for some technical help on a new setup I’m wanting to run. I currently have two D’Amore E1500.1 and two E700.4 amps sitting around that I’d like to install. I’d like to strap the two E1500.1 together for three DC LVL 2 10’s, but the E1500.1 don’t have a built in feature to run a master/slave. I was looking around and found the DD ZVL which looks really similar in functionality to the old MLX-100 Maxxlink from back in the day.

 

Anybody using a ZVL to strap two amps (non-Digital Designs obviously) that don’t have that functionality? Any issues with reliability of the ZVL or the amplifiers being strapped? Anybody tried this with the D’Amore E-series amps?

Why is "strapping" so needed?  Gain match and be done. 


So just wire one coil from each of the three subwoofers to one of the amps and the other set of coils to the other amp, gain-match and be done? I wont have any issues with that?

Sorry, I’m not an expert in circuit topology for amplifiers and the capabilities of half bridge and full bridge… forget I asked anything.
