Default 2 amps on one d2 sub - question

I'm planning to run two amps (identical) to one dual voice coil sub. What is the best way to make sure I have the identical amount of power going to each coil?

Strappable amps...

Wil you also have one amp for right side of car, and the other one for left?
Always wanted to do that
Ultimate stereo separation
Tried it once with my old M3 but the 2 soundstream 405s amps were drawing too much power from car, lights were dimming
So took one out
You mean xd700/5 right?
Good amp

Slippery slope. But it can be done if you gain match perfectly.

Anyone know of a good tutorial on matching outputs using a DMM?

It's not as crucial as you might think to have them perfectly matched, but running a sine and measuring ac voltage with a dmm would be how I'd do it.

"perfectly?" Maybe not... but getting them pretty close is kinda important. Lol.

Do I need a dummy load to measure the Sf voltage?
