How to control 2 amps with 1 bassknob without strapping?

There is a master\slave feature, but as I said earlier if I do that, the amps shut off (don`t have a voltage issue though) Need something like the PEQX3 :)

that PEQ is made to control fosgate amps, you are risking damage to your NON RF amp by trying it - i wouldnt.

most telephone Y splitters work

ive never seen this work before - i would contact the manufacturer and ask them before trying it.

ive never seen this work as well on many differnt amps

i would get the rca touch pad its a knob that gos in-line with the rca's it turns it into a better volume knob and you can have both amps on that one knob go from 0 to 100 with a roll of the fingers

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

word up man......i mean if a manufacturer says its ok then by all means go for it. If your not 100% sure though, your best bet is what TBAlpine said - those things are cool.

would a RF 360.2 do the job?

I buy one of those for processing/EQ/Crossover reasons and the side benefit is the bass volume control - buying one JUST for bass control will work but it is a pretty expensive way to do it :D You can probably go in-line with the rca controller for under $20 bones.

It works with kicker ZX amps for sure. And an f.y.i. some radio shacks don't carry RJ11 phone line splitters anymore. I tried 4 in my area with no luck. Finally had to go to home depot to get one. $6 was the cost but I can control my two ZX2500.1 off of a single bassknob.

2007 Chevy Suburban LT1

Pioneer AVH 5700 DVD

Diamond Audio D3 6 1/2 components

Kicker 06ZX650.4 amp

Kicker 06ZX2500.1 (x 2)

DC Sound Lab Level 4 18's with Level 5 coils

Autotek Mean Machine 400.1D (replaced)

Soon to come:

rims

body kit

flow master pipes

Confuscious say "he who say it can't be done shouldn't be bothering man busy doing it"

Now feel free to go crawl back under that rock and leave this to the professionals....

Buying it for that reason alone would be a bit expencive, but I`ve been wanting that for a while for more audio control, I just have a 7 band EQ in my HU for now and I want something with more options. And it looks awesome too :D

rca knob

and yeah it really depends on the splitter and which how many pins/prongs the thing has some are 4 some are 5 just make sure it matches your amp
