Can anyone tell me if the Cyclops amps can be slaved together to a single 18in sub? Thanks,looking to slave two cyclops on an audiobahn 18in 12oorms dual 4ohm sub at a 2ohm load??????

one cyclops alone will blow that sub

Yes, you may be right,if i turn the gains up,but i am looking to run both at the 2 ohm load to keep the amps running cool cranked.I am aware of the rms,and ohms value of what i need in order to not blow my subs,just wondering if anyone has slaved any of these amps at any time in the past,or can it be done??Thanks,any information is helpful.

It can be done,I found my spec book for the VIII series.Thanks for all the help

so, what is the real rating on them..... looks like one can do 400wrms, but i haven't seen the ohm load for it...

Says at 11.5v continuous w less than 0.15%tdh 175 at 113db!!! 2 ohm stable. I put 1 on a pair of RE dvc 1000rms 10 and it was???### my db meter went into error at 135.I have a crap load of old school amps zed made,and a few of the monster audiobahns....18001,2200hct,4125hct,means m 66 hc66,44,hc44 99,bts 7150 7154 7204,hifonics genisus cyclops ect,ect.Those amps slaved will push that 18 1200rms sub all day long without any issues at a 2 ohm load.Fuse rating at 4ohms is 20amp,and 2 ohms is 30.TRue rms power,and im at 14.4v all day with my set up.. should be interesting.Never slaved the Hifonics viii together ever.

I am sure that 400 is gonna be right at the 13.5 v range, voltage range is 11.5 to 16!!!Nice indeed.
