chapo123 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) I have a saz1500 and need 3k and I have 2 subs that are dual 2s.. so I can get a 2 ohm or .5. I was going to sell my amp and get a audiopipe 3k but I started thinking and realized I could pick up a used saz1500 for cheaper then a 3k.. and better quality and power. Only thing is would I be able to strap them with my options? I saw a write up and saw I need a rca to go from output of master to input of slave. Okay I got that. Then connect the negs together. Check. Then I saw 2 pos leads come out of the master and 2 pos leads come out of the slave but I think if I read those correctly the positive leads coming out the slave are the negatives? He said the ohm load gets cut in half so if I strap and wire my subs toghether for 2 ohm each amp would see 1 ohm? Sorry I'm new to this whole strapping amps thing and wanted to see if this would work betore I buy the amp.. would I have to use both positives and negatives or can I use just one positve and neg? Since ill only have one lead coming out for 2 ohm. Sorry for this long write up just trying to make sure I got this right! Lol thanks Edited January 1, 2011 by chapo123 Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history.

hdorre Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) This picture should be pretty self explanatory. * The slave takes the "-" connection(s) * The master takes the "+" connection(s) * The "-" terminals of the amps are hooked together. You don't need to use both sets of "+" on the amps. They are there for flexibility. While you should always connect both "-" terminals on the amps together using large wire as general procedure it is not absolutely necessary to use both sets of "+" terminals. They are connected together internally in parallel. The master amplifier gets the input from the head-unit and a mono RCA from "BR Out" connected. The slave amplifier ONLY gets "BR In" connected from the master. ALL controls are handled on the master, setting anything on the slave is not necessary.

chapo123 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Alright sweet. So any rca will work or do I need a special one from jacob? Lol I know for sure to do the br output to the input on the slave. And I know for sure to connect the negatives together. So the master is basically positive and the slave negative? I'm only going to have one lead of pos and neg so I put the pos in the masterr and neg in the slave pos input? And that would give me 1 ohm at each amp?

hdorre Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Any RCA will work. Yessir, master is positive, slave is negative. Yes, only one lead of pos/neg If its originally 2 ohms, you get 1 ohm per amp. The nominal ohm load is divided by 2 Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapo123 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Sweet thanks man. I guess I got it now! This should be more then 3k knowing sundown =) better then the audiopipe 3k and cheaper! Well not cheaper but its cheaper to get another one and add to my collection lol because someone told me you can't strap below 2 ohm so I was like dang. Then I just read it gets cut in half by each amp and each amp would see 1 ohm FTW Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history.
