oh man i hope not or im gonna be upset. i looked on the web site all it says is super class D. i know its 2000x2 @ 1 ohm and 4000x1 @ 2 ohms and i have 2 dual 1 subs so i used to have one coil of each sub hooked to each channel.

since it's a 2channel amp, you may have to use all positives from the maxxlink going into the amplifier's inputs.
Then run each amplifier in 1ohm stereo, or 2ohm mono to be safe. You could then try each amp bridged at 0.5ohm mono, but then you're risking the guts of your amp....I don't know how strong they are at 1/4ohm per channel. AND DO NOT try to link the negatives on the amps like you would with two monoblocks. You can't do it that way with multichannel amps.
I run two Crunch 2ch amps and this is how I had to do mine. They aren't dual mono-blocks, they are just standard A/B 2ch amplifiers.

you wouldn't be actually linking the amps like with monoblocks. You are just getting everything phased the same, and gaining the preamp and other controls of the maxxlink.
So far, my score has actually gone down slightly...but maybe with more work and time on a TL i can get the couple tenths back. I'm just glad to have a subsonic filter now

probably have to run positive each amp, and keep one sub per amp.

I would call Mike Stiers for clarification...but I think that's how you'll have to do it.

The saz-1500's are already strappable. no need for a maxxlink really.

yes the Sundowns are allready strappable I would still reccomend the use of the maxxlink if you can afford it Im sure Jacob will agree with me on that too as he uses one in the demo truck

His email is Mikes@maxxsonics.com, but if you email and he is a little slow to respond that would be because he is in China until the first [Wink]

People for some reason are under the impression you can strap 2 channel amps with this thing...this is INCORRECT all it does it makes it so if you have two strappable amps, you can strap them without having to use the master/slave function that is already built in to all strappable amps. It really is quite superfluous but apparently helps the amps put out a bit more power since its giving both amps the same signal whereas if you use master and slave then the slave amp doesn't get the exact same signal as the master does

The subsonic filter was a major reason for my purchase, since I currently have it on a couple 2ch amps. I fully planned to put it on a couple mono's...which i will soon be doing. got a friend mailing me a couple of my amps from where i used to live. I'm just hoping my single battery has enough juice to get a burp out safely below rated impedance.
