SPL - How to connect 8 amps to one set of sub outputs on cd player?

[davidtemple 10+ year member]

a friend of mine has 4 Soundstream amps ( XXX-6500D ) connected right now , but he wants to add 4 more how does the Big SPL guys do this? I think he was using Y cord to the amps.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif I think you can strap 2 at a time

his last SPL car won alot in MECA but he was only using two JBL a3000's. So it was not a problem

thanks for all the advice.

either y cables or jump from amp to amp assuming they have outputs

Wouldn't it be easier to just daisy chain them via the RCA outs on each amp?

dont all mono amps have this?i havent seen one without output..or does it depends sometimes?..

The RCA outs can sometimes cause problems.I would use a line driver with so many amps it will give you a better input signal.Then just use y's and connect all the amps.

there are 2 options (IMHO):

1. run one RCA back to the first amp, then go from out on one amp to in on the next (daisy chain)

2. run one rca into however many "y" splicers you'll need (might want a line driver to keep the signal voltage up)
