2 amps, will i have enough power?

[Unregistered]

I have a nakamichiPA504 50Wx4-driving 4 JL-XR components, and a JL-300/2-driving 2 JL-12W0's. Im about to add the JL-300/2, before with the nak amp itself driving the 12W0's I would get some dimming of lights at peak volume. Im going to use the nak for my components and use the new JL amp to drive my subs. I was wondering should I split a Y for the fused battery wire or run the fused battery wire as a chain from amp to amp. If Im not going to have enough power(dimming lights) should I install a cap, if so where?, before both amps or before just one, or two caps before each amp?

Will the cap help with the dimming lights?

Thanks,

MM

best idea for multiple amps is a power distribution block...that way you can add a seperate fuse for each wire...it is also helpful if you are planning on adding more amps in the future because all you have to do is run another power wire from the power distribution block im sure a cap would help out w/ dimming of the lights....my understanding is the best spot would be before each amp 2 .5 farad caps would probably work best...
