Strapping Studio X Mono Amps
Studio X mono amps are true mono units and you can double their power by
“strapping” t
wo units of the same model together to drive a single voice coil.
Always keep in mind that each amp must see a minimum load of 1Ω. A
“strapped” pair of amps must see a minimum load of 2Ω (1
ohm per amp)
Strapping the Inputs
Head unit Output RCAs
Bass Remote
1. Decide which amp will be the ‘master” amp and which will be the “slave”
amp
2. Connect the head units bass output or full range output RCA cables to the
R and L RCA inputs of the first (Master) amplifier
3. Connect the “Bridge Out” of the master amp to the “Bridge In” of the
salved amp with a single RCA Cable. Do not connect anything to the regu-
lar R and L inputs of the slave amp.
4. Connect the Bass Remote to the Remote in of the master amp.
**The master amp is now the control amp. All adjustments you make to the
bass remote and to the master amp’s other controls will be transferred to the
slave amp and the Slave amp will be driving the negative side of the signal,
and have no control functions of its own
