1 LPL for 2 Amps?

Post by Brett »

I have a zx400.2 and a ti600.2 both running sub duty and I thought I read that you could control them both with one LPL. The question is how should the crossovers be set for each amp?

By the way, long time reader but first time posting. Tons of good info on this site, I have learned a great deal from everyone. Thanks!

It's under LPL Splitter.

Keep your crossovers LP (Low Pass) for each amp.

another way is to use them in a master/slave setup

plug the lpl in amp A then use A's aux out's to give signal to amp B

amp A will need to be in LP mode, the other amp can do either (this way you could even use the HP, and really narrow down the range of signal you want that driver to play

THanks for the info guys. I'll be using the master/slave option. So amp A will be set to LP/BY and amp B the same. I'm on vacation without my truck so I'll give it a try this coming weekend when I get home.

The plan is for each amp to run a RSDC 10 under the back seat of an Ext Cab Silverado (01). They will most likely be downfiring. Going to be a tight fit mounting depth wise but I think I can make it work. Any box advice? Sounds like .6 - .7 is ideal? SQ is priority one.

so you are running one sub on a zx400.2 and the other on a ti600.2?

at least I'm not the only one to be wondering why in the world you would do such...

I was planning to run 2 subs off the 600.2 and still might. Since I had the zx400 I thought I'd try running both though.

it isn't recomended to run two subs off of two completely different types of amps. It would be like running a 10.5 racing slick on one side of your car and the spare tire donut on the other........ You can do it, but it is going to be hard to match the output on both subs.
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.
