^True... but sometimes I forget that not everybody has a meter with a clamp like yours and mine :p lol

Although I do have a cheap lil Harbor Freight dmm too, but don't normally use it... Heck half the time I can't even find it LOL

ive done it its really not that bad just make sure you gain match. and not just with a dmm to check voltage. your current could be off as your coils will have slightly diffrent impedances. which changes your Voltage and current. which is y im a firm believe in using both dmm and clamp to set gains.

:inout nah i don`t it was a ? i thought of asking on here.
Let`s use this example
you have 2 900 rms mono amps and you decide to get one high price sub
to replace the ones you have you can't afford but one $400.00 sub
that handle 2000 rms of power so working with what you have instead
of trying to sell them and start over.

And if you don't mind me asking... Why would you want to? Are you actually using 1 single sub that requires that much power?
Just curious :)

by Bwcad1 » Sat May 24, 2008 7:41 am

you really need to use a clamp and a dmm to make sure you have them matched a DMM just isnt good enough itself when doing that.

by William from NOLA » Sat May 24, 2008 7:16 am

Yea, and just leaving them all the way up or all the way down doesn't cut it. DMM!

by cargodz » Sat May 24, 2008 6:49 am

Matching the gains is a MUST! so you'll definately need to bust out the dmm.

by JeremyC » Fri May 23, 2008 9:58 pm

yes you can do it, but both amps have to be identical, and you have to match the gain of both amps PERFECTLY.

I don't see a problem with that as long as you don't put too much power to the sub, but these guys here are the experts. When I bought my Memphis MOJO, I was given some similar info. The 15" 15-MOJO15Q1 will take a 1000 watt mono amp on each one of 4 (1 ohm) voice coils.

I've got the 12" dual 2 ohm and decided that parallel connection was enough for me, besides, I only have room for the one amp :)

hey fellas!!! i got a ?
can you take two mono amps and wire each one to the voice coil?
will it play with no problem? just something to pick yah minds....
