alright i have 1 amp hooked up, and i want to hook up a 2nd one. what all do i need to have, and can you explain how i do it. im sure its easy but i dont want to fuck anything up. and do i need thicker power and ground wires cuz i only have 8 guage wires right now.

 

First what are you connecting the second amp to? How much power does that amp produce? How many channels is that amp?

Things you could need...another power wire run or a larger gauge power wire. Another set or two of RCA cables. Possibly another fuse holder.

Sorry you need to provide more information to get a solid answer.

 

i got 2 300 watts max each rocksford subs hooked up to a little kenwood 800 watt 2 chan amp. i want to hook up another 800 watt amp so i can run each sub to it's own amp.

 

You will need to run either a new power wire for the second amp or a single larger gauge wire for both. Along with a proper ground line. You will need to get signal to the new amp also. If your other amp has a signal output on it you can use that. Or you can use a set of Y jacks and a short RCA cable. After that you hook up the speakers.

 

Your best bet is to run another set of power and ground wires. You can daisy chain the remote turn on lead from your current amp however.

 

i think imma run a second power wire from the battery. can i split the remote wire from the first amp to the second. and ill get another set of rca and run that from the first amp. and as for the ground, i'll jus find another ground in the trunk. does that sound like a stupid idea?

 

you need to ground to the same bolt.

 

okay ill do that. but does everything else sound okay.

 

Yup. That's what I meant by "daisy chaining".

 

how many items are you trying to turn on with your remote wire?

3 or more you should use a relay to supply enough current to fully turn on any device.

Next up grade to one large power wire, split off in rear to each amp... and
dont forget to add another large wire from battery - to ground .... i would also run a heavy groud wire from alternator bolt to ground.
