TeejayBee Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Alrighty so everyone should know by now im running two kicker zx 1000.1's they both have a bass knob wire that i have ran to one bass knob . Used a phone splitter from two to one. now one amp has been putting out more power then the other. So lets say amp a is doing more power then amp B . Well i took the wire from amp a and amp b and put each wire to its own knob. i put the power to 0 on amp A's knob and put amp B's knob all the way up and Amp B's sub was moving more, Then i did the same for Amp A, But when i put the Knobs at the middle of the bass level. 0-18 so at 9 amp A is moving the sub more. I have the wires ran together next to my power wire. Any ideas guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Phone splitters were never meant to use as bass knob jumpers, phone splitters have 4 wires and bass knobs need 6 wires. You might have to use something like the jl line driver and rca splitters and readjust your gains since the adjustable line driver can increase the voltage. Try contacting kicker and see if they make something for multiple amp setups.

Coolwazabi Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 does that amp have a master slave ??? if so !!! 1 set to master and 1 set to slave and connect the rca's together and 1 knob should work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Are the gains matched with a multimeter? Are you absolutely certain they're getting the same input signal? Like, scoped or DMM'd the RCAs? Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeejayBee Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 both are set the same with gains. amd idk how to figure the RCAS with a dmm. they both work im just lost loolz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeejayBee Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 and idk how to figure the master slave for the one amp explain ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolwazabi Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 the side of the amp will have a toggle switch, says master/slave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I don't think those amps have master slave switches on em, either you'll have to run something like the jl line driver or just remove the remote and just use the volume on the h/u only.

TeejayBee Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 well i took off the bass knob wires out of the remote part (part that controls bass out put) and one still moved more then the other, both are wired to 2 ohm final both good grounds and power. ground and power wires are ran threw a distro block, only thing i can think is that the RCA's but i dont think that would do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeejayBee Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 well i think im going to re tune my amps and use two Bass knobs until i find a 2-3k watt amp at 1 ohm if i can. loolz how can i see if the signal is good on the RCA;s?
