The Dakota or Olympia can be bridged together for double the power output into a 2-ohm load. Though each amp is 1 ohm
stable, when bridging amplifiers, you must bridge them to a 2 ohm load.
Input the head unit signal into the MASTER amplifier and set the Bridged Mode switch to Master. Use the supplied DATA
CABLE to send the fully processed signal from the MASTER amplifier to the secondary SLAVE amplifier and set the Bridged
Mode switch to Slave. Do not input any RCA signals into the Slave amplifier.
All crossover controls, Bass Drive, frequency settings, and subsonic filter settings will be controlled by the Master Amplifier
including input gain levels. There is no need to gain match the two amplifiers, it will occur automatically. The remote dash
bass control should be plugged in to the Master amplifier and it will control both amplifiers.
Make sure to use the supplied DATA CABLE for linking of the amplifiers and not the dash board bass remote cable or any
other phone jack cable. If you misplace your cable, contact Cadence or your local dealer to procure a new one.
This same input/control system can be utilized when daisy chaining two amplifiers to two independent 1 ohm woofers as
long as you don’t bridge the two amplifiers outputs together.
