Wiring help: 2 Amps 2 Subs, Cap in future

[Kaltenberg 10+ year member]

Ok so ive been working on my new system for the last 2 weeks, what ive bought are (2) Kicker 750.1 amps and (2) Kicker 12" L7's. I plan on runing one amp per sub but im wondering how to wire it. I dont know if connecting the amps together makes them sync with each other on the ect. gains, boost, remote bass boost. I dont want to have the subs running at different frequencies and gains. So just wondering how to tie it all together and if there is a way to make one of the remote bass dials work for both amps. like would i cut some wiries and connect my 2 lines to the amps to my one line whereever i put it? thankyou!

Forget about the cap.

If you have a DMM, matching the gains is pretty straightforward. Using the same tone, set the gains so you get the same voltage on each amp. You can use a tone to match the LPF settings as well. Pick the freq that you want the crossover set to and then after the gains are set, play a tone at the crossover freq and set adjust the crossover until you have 70.7% of the target voltage that you used to set your gain. That gives you the most precise crossover setting possible.

Don't use bass boost.

Ok..well could you rephrase that to someone who is above the noob line but not where your talking about? i cant hea 70.7%. and i like bass boost so..

Look at the gain setting tutorial. That will explain most of what I said.

Turning up the sub level relative to the front speakers is basically the same as using bass boost but without the chance of clipping the amp.
