need serious amp help

[lovindabass]

I have two 1000/1 jl amps that i'd like to hook up to run my single XXX 15 d2. Problem is that they are not strap-able. now what I plan to do is run one amp to each voice coil. but what I need to know is that with a Digital Multi meter what am I looking for to match them. I know that they have to be gained perfectly with each other for output or i'll mess up the sub. but any advice on how to get this idea to work?

how do i meter that? considering the amp im using is considered to run the same power at 1 ohm as it does at 4 ohm. Daym JL Audio 1000/1....

maxxlink

 

[lovindabass]

so.... that does what? if i use a max link how does that vary the amps? I have to get = power from each amp. I basicly need almost the exact same wattage to each voice coil. each amp has to push = power or i'll mess up the sub. so how does a maxx link fix that problem does it set the output of each amp? or do i just measure the voltage of the output and see what it rests at @ full tilt on each and play with gain till they are even?

I have never used one but i know it allows you to link amps that are not strappable to gain match them..

 

[lovindabass]

hmmmmm really

 

[lovindabass]

so i looked into the maxxlink thing. I think it would work great for my set up. question is this. i see a master/ slave swithch. Anyone have any knowledge as to how to set up these things? also if you have 3 amps in master / slave set up.. how do you wire the third amp. I heard that with a set up amps/2 amps that is. that the power or pos side of the speaker leads go into one amp and the neg side goes into the second amp... how does a 3rd work....? or do you just put both amps together? like wire the amps like you would normaly but have two different speaker wires to each terminal. one coming from each amp?
