Power Up Grade With Maxx-Link

Recommended Posts

so any tips on setting this, i have one and 2 3ksazs. so the output should be set at 6.0volts. do i just have to gain match them, or do i gotta set the filters the same as well. or is it just that i have to open them on the amp more wide then im actually gonna set it at the maxx link.

Yes, you still have to set the gains on each amp at the same voltage. If you read the instructions that came with the maxxlink it will tell you how to do that using a dmm if you do not have instructions simply unhook the RCA going into the maxxlink coming from your source unit and set the maxxlimk to test tone make sure you unhook any subs going to the amp as well as the wires linking the amps at the- terms simply take a dmm set it to ac volts hook the red wire coming from the dmm to the + speaker output on the amp and the black lead on the dmm to the - term on the amp and adjust the gain on the first amp between 4 and 6 volts . Go to the second amp and repeat again adjusting it to the same voltage you set the first amp the turn the test tone off and re hook up all connections at maxxlink and amp, Finally set your filters on your amps so they are above and bellow the filters on the maxxlink . Now set the input voltage on the maxx link to match the signal source coming from the headunit or source unit and then adjust the output gain on the maxxlink to an acceptable voltage.

Is it possible that a Maxx-Link can cause you not to gain any tenths on the meter at all? I have tinkered with mine for quite a while and we just haven't had any positive results. Any special tricks to adjusting it?

Sure it's possible, but before I ruled out that it wasn't helpful.. I'd check the phasing on all of your wiring and components.
