help strapping amps

[chunky cumz 10+ year member]

ok i have these 2 amps i know are stappable but their is no manual and i cant find one online. hypnotic 1200.1d amps.

i cant figure out how to strap them.

They have slave in and slave out single rca connections, phase selection ect.

i have it setup like this right now

pos sub wire on one amp

neg sub wire on 2nd amp

1st amp has cd player in rca cables

rca cables hooking up through slave connections, in/out

1st amp setup as master and 2nd setup as slave.

a little bit of power is getting to the subs but its obviously not right. its more of just a slight muffle.

anyone?

i may be mistaken, but i thought it was positive on both amps used, and phase on the 2nd amp just reversed 180 degrees?

rca's from head unit to inputs on 'master' amp.

master/slave switch set to 'master'.

use a single rca to connect the amps.

second amp in 'slave' mode.

connect the - speaker outputs on the two amps.

use the + out of 1 amp for positive to speaker

use the + out of the other amp for negative to speaker

on MOST amps, the 'master' handles all settings. the RCA in is past all gain and adjustments.

ok thanks dj,

so i hook the amps up with rca cables...

slave out on 1st and,,,, and then slave in on 2nd amps..

now by setting a master amp,,, there will not be a need to set the gains by dmm later because what ever the master amps gain is set to will be what both are running right?

so the pos, is from the master slave and the neg is from the slave amp, how would i go to connect two subwoofers instead of 1. i have 2 sub dvc 4ohm.
