Here is a handy guide for using the powerCON power pass-through connection on all MKII & MK3 amps. Both generations of amps with pass-through power* can be used together in any order, as long as you have the right connections.
- MK3 amps use the powerCON TRUE1 Top style connectors (Male or Female).
- MKII amps use the powerCON Gray or Blue older style connectors.
*Pre MKII sub amps did not have power-passthrough. This was an option added to some higher-end subs, and ultimately almost all MKII subs. The exception is the Kraken. Due to the Kraken already hitting the max current limit per amp, power pass-through is not available. The DiaMon and SV9 MKIIs also do not have power pass-through, although generally, they are an endpoint for power to them and not used in pairs for the same audio channel, so power can be passed to them, just not from them.
For MK3 Subs & Tops, all of them have power pass-through except:
- MK3 DiaMon does not have power pass-through due to the size constraints of the heat sync and connector area.
- MK3 Krakens do not have power pass-through due to already being at max current levels per amp module.
