BRIDGING AMPLIFIERS - HOW TO SET SWITCHES, INPUTS AND REMOTE CONTROL.
When bridging two amplifiers together all pre amp signals including crossover, phase control, bass equalizer, input gain, subsonic filter, bass focus are controlled by the Master amplifier. The entire pre amp section of the Slave amplifier is bypassed. This is done so all you have to do is to set the Master amplifier and the Slave amplifier will match the Master exactly. There is no need for any manual matching to occur. This ensures perfect alignment of your system. One Bass Control knob, plugged in to the Master amplifier will also control both amplifiers, thereby simplifying your installation as well.
You can use the RCA Pre amp Output of the Master Amplifier to feed secondary Full Range | Bridging Two | |

Use the “Bridging Cable” which was supplied with amplifier to connect MASTER OUT of amplifier #1 (Master) to SLAVE IN of amplifiers #2 (SLAVE). Do not substitute any other cable, if you need a longer cable or lost your cable, please contact Cadence.
Connect a heavy duty speaker wire between the NEGATIVE terminals of both amplifiers.
Connect your woofers NEGATIVE TERMINAL to MASTER amplifiers speaker POSITIVE TERMINAL and your woofers POSITIVE TERMINAL to SLAVE amplifier POSITIVE TERMINAL.
RCA Headunit signal to Master Amp only! No RCA Cables to be attached to Slave Amplifier.
Amp #1 in Master Mode
Amp #2 in Slave 2 Mode
Fully adjusted Signal
is transferred from Master to Slave Amp via Phone Cable.
USE HEAVY GAUGE WIRE TO CONNECT BOTH AMPLIFIERS SPEAKER “NEGATIVE” CONNECTIONS.
When bridging two ZRS C1 amplifiers, the final impedance of the bridged channel shall be no less than 2 ohms.
Under no circumstances can you bridge two different models of amplifiers
