Do i only need to connect the RCA cables to the Master amp? Or do i need to split the Signal and run it to both amps?

You usually only need to run the RCAs from the headunit to the master amp. After that, youd run a wire from "Master out" to "Slave in." Check the manual on your certain amp.

yeah RTFM ftw, but on the sundowns you run

rca's to master amp,

BR out from master

to BR in on slave..

connect negative wires between amps together..

and postitives from subs go to master amp..

negative from subs go to positive of slave amp

which brand of amp are you running ?

Haha, i got my amp used, so no manual.

I did just notice the amp has the single "signal out" port though... is it just a single RCA cable?

Now after strapping two amps (mine being AQs) how would you wire up two dual 2ohms for .5 ohm?

if its strapped and the pair is seeing .5, then each amp would be running at .25 which would probally be to low.

wire down to a 2 ohm load and the amps will see it as a 1 ohm load

WTF, I never thought I'd have a conversation about cross dressers and trans-genders on a car audio forum.

Basically I want to run the subs at .5 instead of 1ohm to give me more amplifier output. Would keeping the subs wired for 1 ohm make the strapped amps see a .5?
