If I were to run 2 dual coil subs and have a amp on each coil,what would need to be done to make sure there would be no cancellation?

i think that would be hard to get the same power going to each coil

cant you set everything the same on each amp?

Gain Match

Gain Match

meaning set all the gains the same correct?

so let me get this straight...

you are going to run 2 woofers and 4 amps correct

a future setup idea yes, 2 sub and 4 total amps

line driver, all gains at the lowest setting. Let the line driver do the work.

why not just link two of thhem for each amp? and not worry about gain matching.

i had two amps on each coil one time and was always paranoid about overpowering one or the other, so i never really turned it up till i got a bigger single amp, but that's just me

edit: ^^^line driver would be a good idea

why would you want to do it anyways? thats just being complicated for the sake of being complicated... just wire it all up together and get a single monoblock

1) It was just a idea

2) Cheaper(ex. 2 Hifonics 1606D=3200w@$560 vs 1 Hifonics XX-Colossus II=3200w@$750 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

is this what your talking about?

yep, kind of expensive, but good.

I've seen some line driver/master gain controls too, I just can't remember who makes them. I used a line driver when I had 4 amps.

line driver is ur best bet....if not simply eyeball the gains, play them low and check the voltages with a dmm, play lourder and check the voltages, tune them until they are close as possibly, as logn as ur not more than volt off youll be alright....but getem close as u can... remember to leave ur HP crossovers all the way open and use the HP on ur deck, or else you have to carefully tune those too. this whole process takes like 3 or 4 min......not hard at all.....some amps u can have them match gains internally wihtout the tuning bullshit ( i know orion has a master/slave type deal with thiers)...... not too hard to do though....
