Diamond D1000.1 Installation Manual page 7

Strapping Amplifiers
Your new Diamond Audio amplifiers have the unique ability to combine or "strap" either two D600.1's
or two D1000.1's together to create one extremely powerful channel. You cannot strap a D600.1 and a
D1000.1 together. You must only connect two identical amplifiers. When you strap two Diamond Audio
amplifiers together, you get the added benefit of being able to use one remote level control to control
both amplifiers.
Minimum
2 Ohms
Wiring
1) Select one amplifier to be the master amplifier and one amplifier to be the slave amplifier. (All
EQ and gain controls on the slave amp are disabled)
2) Set the phase adjustment switch on the Master amplifier to 0° and the phase adjustment switch
on the Slave amplifier to 180°.
3) Connect the RCA cables from the head unit to the Master amplifier.
4) Connect an RCA cable from the Master amplifiers Slave OUT terminal to the Slave amplifiers
sync cable between both amplifiers.
5) Connect the negative outputs of both amplifiers using a piece of 8 gauge wire.
6) Connect the sub woofer to the positive terminal of each amplifier.
7) The load Impedance must be 2 Ohms or greater.
Using a Single Bass Knob to Control Multiple Amplifiers
Your new Diamond Audio amplifiers have the unique ability to use one remote level control to control
multiple amplifiers. You must be using at least two D600.1's or two D1000.1's.
