ATPRO Unregistered guest | I have no problem with knowing where my signal wires go. I have one four channel amp and one single channel amp. I have the four channel going to to my speakers. Now i would like to use the single channel amp to a sub. Will i need to run two power wire, ground and remote wires to accomidate both amps; or is there a way to connect the two more simply? If anyone can assist me thank you! |

Put that on the end of your power cable from battery and run from it to each amp. then you can run separate grounds or get another DB for them. I'd probably look for a fused DB for power and non-fused for ground. Check out http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/S-aJBNoNeXoU5/learningcenter/car/amplifiers_wi ring.html for a pic |
