help straping amps

[rumple4skin 10+ year member]

iv never straped a amp before, and was wondering if anyone can tell me the best way to do it, i was told if i can run it all serise and put it all into one input i dont have to worry about indavidual gains. if this is true i whould love to see or hear how you can get the two amps to run into one connection instead or trying to set the gains indavidualy and dont see how to wire the amps without running one to each sub.

pends on what amps you have.

not all amps are strappable.

if the ones you own do not say anyting about strapping them then no.

if the ones you do say they can, look in the manual.

the manual says to use jumper wire with the two negative's( one from each amp) and run the two positve(one from each amp) into the positive and negative of the sub wireing. is that right?

as long as the instructions say how to and you follow them then you should not have any problems.

that was kinda the point of asking the qustion tho man, sorry i wanted some advice as to if this is the way i must set both gains or not, the amp however says there is a master and slave setting so im pretty sure this is the way to run it with one set of gains instead of trying to balance them both out( by ear and dmm). if i have to set them both perfictly then i will just take it in after install and have it put onto a osiloscope( id rather not tho, sterio preformance in this town is shit, and half the time do the stupidist shit) rather not have others touching my car=)

as it says to use the Master/slave switch.

set one amp as Master. set the other as slave.

set the gains on Master. leave Slave as is.

enjoy.
