Q1.1500D

Linking Mono Amplifiers

DUAL AMP INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

1.Connect the amp LINE INPUTS to the Radio/CD player full range or mono line out puts with good quality RCA interconnect cables.

2.Plug in the MBQR-2 remote level module into the amp REMOTE INPUT jack on the Master amp. This will allow the Master amp to control both Master and Slave amps with just one Bass Remote.

3.Connect an RCA jumper cable from the Master amp MASTER OUTPUT to the Slave amp SLAVE INPUT. Note: This will “link” the amps so that the Master amp crossover switches will control both the Master and Slave amps. The Slave amp crossover switches will be bypassed.

4.Route two 2 gauge power cables directly to the vehicle battery with an in-line fuse.

5.Connect two 2 gauge ground cables directly to the chassis with in 36” of the amp.

-Be sure to remove any paint or primer from the ground point.

-Use a nut, bolt and lock washer to secure the ground cable to the chassis ground.

6.Make sure the Master amp MASTER/SLAVE switch is in the OUTPUT MASTER position. Make sure the Slave amp MASTER/SLAVE switch is in the INPUT SLAVE position.

7.Connect the subwoofer(s) in accordance to the diagrams below.

8.Connect a 12 gauge jumper from Master amp speaker - to Slave amp speaker - as shown below.

The Linked pair of Q1.1500D’s are stable to 2 Ohms and will produce 3000wrms. Do not present anything under 2 Ohms to the linked pair or the amplifiers will be damaged.
