The RVA-M2 and RVA-M3 can be bridged to another amplier of the same model for double the power output into a single 4-ohm load.
Remember, when bridging amplifers you must bridge them to a 4-ohm load.
Input the head unit signal into the MASTER amplifer. Use a MONO RCA to RCA cable to send the fully processed signal from the BRIDGE OUT
RCA port of the MASTER amplier to the BRIDGE IN RCA port of the SLAVE amplier. Do not input any RCA signals into the SLAVE amplier’s
left and right inputs. All functions will be controlled by the MASTER amplier. There is no need to gain match the two ampliers; it will occur
automatically. The dashboard mounted subwoofer remote control should be plugged into the MASTER amplier and it will control both ampliers.
This same input/control system can be utilized when daisy-chaining two amplifers to two independent 2-ohm woofers as long as you don’t bridge
the two amplier outputs together.
You can only bridge two of the same amplifiers together. DO NOT bridge different models together.
When bridging two ampliers together, the nal impedance load of the bridged ampliers should be no lower than 4 ohms. Double power
will occur at 4 ohms. The MASTER amplifer’s positive (+) speaker terminal should be wired to the positive terminal of the subwoofer.
The SLAVE amplier’s positive (+) speaker terminal should be wired to the negative terminal of the subwoofer. Connect a heavy gauge wire (12
gauge) between the negative (-) terminal of the MASTER amplier and the Negative (-) terminal of the SLAVE amplier.
When daisy-chaining two ampliers for independent woofers, wire up the the woofers as you would typically wire them when installing individual
systems, even down to 2 ohm. By using the MASTER/SLAVE ivnput confguration you gain the advantage of having one amplifer’s pre-amp
section control both ampliers, eliminating the need to gain-match and crossover-match your system between ampliers.
