hanibal Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I got PHOENIX GOLD 6.5" 240w COMPONENT SPEAKERS RSD65CS Phoenix Gold RSD250.2 200-Watt 2-Channel amp in a 09 ford escape which also has a inline level adptor to the stock hu and it has 2 gains left and right. I cant even turn the stereo to 3/4 ? I propably can only go under half now till the amp clips. No osc scope. Whats the best way to do this gain thing when i have a adaptor with gains and the amp? By the way the speakers rock and have no sub so it;s just for the front components? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 im not 100% sure about master/slave, but shouldnt the slave amp do whatever the master amp does without touching it?yes. the master amp acts as the positive terminals, the slave amp acts as the negative terminals. gains are set with the master amp. tuning the slave amp will do nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am driving 2 15 FiQ subwoofers. Thanks for any help the slave amp will follow whatever settings the master amp has been set so meaning set the settings on the master amp and the slave will follow w/e settings you put on the master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanibal Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 If we hook up a head unit with a 8volt (or more) output to an amplifier, then the volume will get loud very fast when we start to turn it up. Thats the problem i have , i cant turn it up to half without it being to load and distorts. If i turn down the gain the speakers shut off everytime i turn up the volume?

Lowroll Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 the slave amp will follow whatever settings the master amp has been set so meaning set the settings on the master amp and the slave will follow w/e settings you put on the master Im going to master/slave my amps but the dude at my shop said id have to match my gains, another guy at the same shop said tune the master, slave will follow it. i got so confused bc i had 2 different stories from the same shop.
