That's called Quality Assurance. Or maybe its just being picky? Either way keep up the good work.

I recommend you sell it and purchase a Maxx-Link. Its a lil complicated initially but once you understand it everything's cake. It actually makes system tuning for multi-amp installs much easier.

I have to say congratulations to Gary aka banginAltima for his new personal best score of a 146.9. This was done out of the trunk of his '06 Altima using a pair of RF T1 15s powered by a single Sundown saz-1500d. It is a daily car tuned to 33hz and peaks @ 41hz so no fart boxes here. This car will absolutely pound some Jeezy. This score done with the car completely sealed and mic on the windshield DbDrag style. He is by far the loudest trunk car in his power class. Sundown Powa! I didn't do too bad today either taking 1st in Street Bass (like BassRace) with a perfect 139.9. Yay for cash prizes!

That one is highly anticipated here as well. I think Gary would sell a kidney to get one right now if he could.

Thats correct. Run the coils on each sub in series then parallel both subs to the pair of strapped amps. If they are dual 2s then each amp will see 1ohm.

As far as your drawing I see two different ones. The one with two subs doesn't have any negative terminals for the subs so its a lil incomplete. The drawing with one sub shows it wired in parallel for a 1ohm load meaning each amp is seeing 0.5ohm.

No. Use the BR out from the Master amp to the BR in of the Slave amp and the signal is already 180* off.

x2 We strapped a pair of 1500s on banginAltima's RF T1 15s for burps only and they didn't last very long. As soon as the first one blew it shorted and immediately sent the amps into protect.

I just received my 4th one Monday. There is one on my Explorer, 2 on my bro's Excursion w/ factory dual alt setup, and now this last one is going in to my bro's competition Dakota w/ a GM alt. Absolutely no problems.

Approved!

I had that same problem at first. After changing out to my new head unit it went away though. You need to set the gains and match the amps seperately when using a Maxx-Link whether they're strapped or not. I really didn't realize what I was getting into with this thing tuning wise. It doesn't help that I might as well be dyslexic when it comes to reading and understanding manuals. Now that I've done it once it doesn't seem so difficult anymore. Thanks everyone for the help.

I worked all day yesterday getting my Maxx-Link working properly. I'm 99% positive it was an issue with the outputs on my old head unit. Now I'm trying to get everything fine tuned perfect and there are a lot of adjustments on this thing. My only concern is what to set the ouput of the Maxx-Link to? Its currently set to 5v but can I go higher? Will the 1500s take the full 9v output? I checked the owner's manual but didn't see it listed. Also since I'm not using the br output to strap the amps, do I still need to gain match them? How does that work? I'm used to only setting one amp and now its like I have to set both amps and the Maxx-Link which is driving me crazy. I originally tried running the amps seperate but couldn't get them matched perfect so I strapped them again to make it easier.

Thanks. I'm just half illiterate.

^What about that?^

I'm having trouble with my Maxx-Link also. Everything is fine without it but when its installed my subs go haywire.

If its dual 2ohm I could help you with that.

At .25ohm they start to get protection happy. Definately don't do it daily & I wouldn't even do it for burps.

152s here I come. The setup.

Here is a backshot of my b-stock NightShades. Nobody will ever know that there is anything "b-stock" about them. And here is an example of the #s I'm hitting with them. There isn't any effect on performance at all.

That current draw is per amplifier. That setup can easily pull 800a+ of current. Four 1500s @ 1ohm each will be much easier on your electrical setup.

Well it seems that the upcoming amplifier line up is strong. So what's it look like for subwoofers. The E8s and NightShades look like they're doing well. I've seen the talk about "monster subs" but is there anything else in a lower power range (750watts or so)? Something in between the SD1s and NightShades that a pair of them could be powered well by a single 1500d (or the upcoming 2000d).

Tomorrow's the day. I'll see ya'll there.
