How to strap two monoblocks

Strapping or linking two Ti ampliers allows you to deliver a ton of power into a single voice coil commonly used in SPL competitions. The example below

shows two Ti1500.1s delivering a total of 3000 watts into a single 2 ohm voice coil. DO NOT STRAP AMPLIFIERS INTO A 1 OHM LOAD.

NOTES: The “Master” amplier’s preamp section controls both ampliers. “Slave” amplier’s pre-amp control are disabled.

Min Load is 2 ohm when strapped.
