Can you help me out here, I have never done this before. I plan on getting two AP1.5ks to power a hdc318.

what all will I need for this assuming im using 1/0 cable to a distro with 2 four gauge going to the amps. Please include prices also if possible, I will be ordering everything from Knu. Thank you, i aprreciate it.

Ok so

- small RCA to connect the amps

- 8 or 4 gauge to connect both negatives. Slave positive is negative and master is positive is positive?

-1/0 to 2 four gauge for power

What parts do I connect the small RCA to, red to red? White to white? White to red? Or doesn't it matter?

if the amps are strappable they will have a slave /master switch.one in slave the other in master.there also should be a single rca output on both amps plug the single rca into both.the master amp will control both amps once linked you dont have to set the gains or anything on the slave amp

It's for 2 ap15001d . They have a br in and out but no switch so I'm assuming it recognizes the amp that's using br out as the master. Anyone know for sure ?
