Problem with master and slave sundown amps

The "-" connections of the master should be hooked to the "-" connections of the slave.

The "+" connections of the master should get ONLY "+" speaker connections.

The "+" connections of the slave should get ONLY "-" speaker connections.

This is when strapped.

You cannot strap three amps together... so you will have to run them individually at that time.

 
they are not technically..but can be run at .5 ohm if you have good electrical to back it up
True. So, I think the same may apply to strapped setups.

And, if your running 2, soon to be 3 1500's, you have a good electrical setup

 
Well I just took out my three AQ 1200D's and exchanging them with the three sundowns. I want 1 amp on each sub at 1 ohm. But my problem is they are not puttin out the same output. One subwoofer is hardly moving.

Maybe you need a line driver to boost the output voltage of your hu

eh, ive used 4 volt pre outs, 5 volts, and currently run an 8 volt out eclipse...not much difference if you set your amp up right...he has a nicer alpine so i dont think this would change anything

True. Maybe 1 sub is out of phase?

 
Wait, if your just using 1 amp per sub, then you need to like the rcas right thru the first amp. Using both the in and out of the first to daisy chain to the second

 
Just use a pair of rcs's to the slave amp, as we will cal it, rather then what you have now
