Bass Boost Controller Question

[Jeffster1978]

Hey guys! Quick question.....I have two Crescendo 3500 amps. Each one comes with its own bass boost controller to install up front. Can you wire both of them together to utilize only one controller or do I have to install both bass boosts? I have seen a lot of guys with 4 or more amps and only using one bass boost controller. The wires for each controller look like phone type jacks. Thanks for your help!

Are you strapping the amps? If they're strapped, you just connect the remote to the "master" amp

No they are not strapped. I was actually running one amp per sub. Should I just strap the amps and then run them to both subs?

If you want to use just one remote, that would probably be the best way

their bass knob is probably inline with the RCA's before they get split out to the amps, your bass knob is a little different and is controlled internally on the amp.

Yeah, I use an inline RCA level controller, but I don't see any other way to use just one of the factory remotes without strapping the amps

With two 3500's,you probally don't need that bass boost to begin with.but it is fun
