OK so il be running two Orion HCCA D5000 and they have their own bass knob. i will not be strapping these and im trying to not use a EQ. is there any way around this? The bass knobs uses a headphone jack input to both the amp and remote.someone on another forum told me this" [color=5]the splitter on the bass knob wire might not preform correctly - the bass knob is just a potentiometer, so the amps are looking for a specific resistance. when you split the amp will see the bass knob in parallel with the input impedance on the other amp. it depends on the resistance range of that specific knob, and the circuitry of the amp.[/color] Any input?

Set one amplifier to master, the other to slave.
have RCA from source to master amp, then RCA from master amp to slave amp.
Use one bass knob on master amp, slave amp will mimic master amp.

Besides you can not strap the D5000's

Yes you can! I have the manual. It says " one RGC can be used on multiple sub amplifiers. plug the RGC into the first amp which will have it's AUX OUT selection switch in the "MASTER" position. the RGC information will now be sent to subsequent amps via the "MASTER" signal."

Isn't that what I said to do? Thank you for the back up.
