master slave question

[flashlight_65]

I plan on getting 2- t400.4's (new model) and 2- t4000.1's and was curious about a couple things, first if one of the t4k's has a higher output wattage than the other which do i make the master? Second between the t400.4's if i run one at 2 ohms and the other at 4 ohm can they also be interconnected together via rca's since they have a different impedance?

Use the lower power one as the master and yes you can connect them via RCA, they'll just need the gains set differently.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Boon, but i noticed the new T400.4's dont have an signal output. Would i have to use a y-splitter at the deck and 2 sets of rca's?

[Boon]

Much cheaper and easier to run 1 set of RCAs to the trunk or whatever then split it and run 2 1ft RCAs to your amps But yeah.

I needed a visual. is this correct? Another thing with the t4000's if they are hooked up like this will i only need to use 1 bass knob.

i forgot the output to input on the t4k's

on the 4 channel or the mono

so the both t4k's need the gains set too? or just the master?

use one bass knob on the master amp

the master amp is the only gain you need to set for the t4k's

thanks for the help gents

set gains on master and the slave is for fine tunein

Negative... with bd-sync the master controls the gain for the slave. Which is why you use the slightly less powerful amp as the master
