Allo,
I wanna know, when you are wiring 2 amps up for your stereo, do U wire them in series? Like, take a wire from the 12+ to 12+ and -Gnd to -Gnd????
Or do u have to have it gay and run seperate wires from the battery etc to each of the amps?
I need to hook up my second amp to run my splits I have in front, my 4 inch 2 ways are blowing ass ahah..

Thanks People Smile

u CAN do it in series, but its gonna sound shit, cos it wont be getting enough power. You will always get better sound with dedicated power and ground wires. You can use the same remote/ignition wire, as all this does is tells the amp to turn on.

i say use two seperate power cables for ure '+' and '-', don't just hook up to the ones running to the other armp, and 'acc' can be just joined for existing one, and also, good idea to have ure power pos and neg one side of car, and ure rca's on the other, and have earth for ure amps, and deck same place, this lowers ure chances of gettin the engin noise.

Get yourself a power block. One cable in and multi outs (depends on how many you want out)
