Derrick824 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Speaker (+) connected to the (+) terminals on the "Master" // Speaker (-) connected to the (+) on the "Slave" I don't see any speaker wires connected to the + terminals on your amps. Also the - terminals should have jumpers from one amp to the other. Like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is temp placement of the equipment to test it and i had already pulled the subs to double check the wire config.

Derrick824 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 So you're sure everything is wired correctly. Verified impedance with a multimeter? What is you're ac voltage output? The next thing I recommend to try is use the amps separate, un-strapped. Run both +s & -s from each sub to each amp so that the coils on each sub are paralleled to each amp.

I matched the gain at 80 ac volts. I did this by putting the pos. to the pos. term on the master, and the neg to the pos. term on the slave. I assume that is how you would do it...

Mostar Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 The only thing i can think of is that i matched the gain wrong? Also I havent really adjusted the L/P or Subsonic filters. I think i bumped them up about 1/4, Idk if that would make much dif? I know am i am doing something wrong they should be drawing way more current if they are funcioning properly. when i tried it at 3/4 vol @ idle my Voltage only dropped like 00.2 volts and sounded just like i did with one amp...

Derrick824 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Set the lpf all the way up and the subsonic, phase, & bass boost all the way down. That will allow full signal through to make sure it's not a setting issue. Edited September 29, 2009 by Derrick824 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the ones i have i am getting engine noise and vocals from the subs... Could that be the the prob?

sundownz Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Turn the LPF down if you are getting "vocals" Quote - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
