explain how the amps are wired...

okay well have a run of 0gauge from stock battey to c&d battery. then from the C&D battery the power wire runs to a 3 way fused distro block. then the distro straight to each amp. the C&D battery is grounded and from the negative terminal another run of ground wire goes to a distro block to supply a ground wire to each amp (ive been doing it like this for awhile) also remember the nine.4 sounds great.

no, how are the amps wired for master/slave? speaker connections, RCA's, etc...

i wired the subs to see a final 4ohm load...then from the box the posative wire goes the the master amp then the negative wire goes from the box to the slave amp.

so + speaker wire to master and - speaker wire to slave amp. both speaker wires come straight from the box.

POS speaker to POS on master, NEG speaker to POS on slave. NEG's on both amps connected to each other.

RCA's in to master, single RCA out to slave. Master/slave switches set properly if you amps have them.

REM wired to both amps...

so the negative speaker wire from the box goes to the POS on the slave??? so on both amps the speaker wires from the box go to the POS on the amps? then i use another peice of wire and connect the negatives together from amp to amp???

connect BOTH NEG's on the amps, not just one of them.

POS from box to POS on master, NEG from box to POS on slave...

that's probably were you went wrong...

couldn't find a manual online, but that's how you strap an SD or AQ amp, and yours seems to be the same...

 

[michaellane 5,000+ posts]

so all speaker wires from box go to POS on amp (on the correct amp). then a seperate random speaker wire goes from NEG ON ONE AMP TO NEG ON THE OTHER AMP?

im going to try it now.
