Why not do it the right way and get a distribution block?You may need to go with thicker gauge wire though.

yea it will work. But it will be more expensive to get another power wire, and runitfrom the batt to the new amp. with a distro block. it takes the power form the one power wire, and splits it equally into both amps.

for the rem wire, you can just hook the rem wire from one amp directly to the rem wire on the other amp, and then form that to ur HU

of course you are gonna hvae to.. thats how ur amp gets the power.

Ur questions are kinda confusin, but i am guessin that you want to run a power wire form ur sub amp to battery. then another power wire from ur new speaker amp to ur battery also..

nooo

he has one amp, positive going from battery to 12v+, which is normal. now, he has a new amp, and instead of buying another ~20 ft of power wire, he wants to just buy like 4 ft and run it from the first amp, to the 2nd amp...

parallel wiring, in a sense...

oic. i rather just get a distro block. because that power wire carrying that much current isnt going to supply both amp with the adequte power. thats why when you have a 4 awg power iwre to one amp, and you get another amp, you run 1/0 to the distro bock, and then 2 4 awg's out of the distro block to the amps, because you get the bigge :-)
