2 amps????

[TheDem6n 10+ year member]

I'm not sure how to go about this ! Currently i have a Pioneer P80MP, sub and a American Pro amp (2chanel 600w max) and all works very well, i just bought a set of pioneer components for the front and pioneer 2 way for the back and a gbl 75.4 (4chanel) amp! How do i go about connecting a second amp???? Got an 8gauge power cable at the moment, was gonna get a power cap but there is a myth that they dont work so what shoul i do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif ?

4awg cable feeding from the battery (fused near the battery so you'll want a fuseholder for 4awg cable as well) going into a distro block that accepts a 4awg input and has either 4awg or 8awg outputs.

From the output side of the distro block you'll route power cable to your two amps.

Easy as pie //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

what are the ratings on the amp best bet is to uprade ur power wire to a fused distro block to ur amps. one main ground to a good ground location to a gorund distro. block and to ur amps.

the current power cable is fused near the battery, so same thing again with a 4awg cable and fused block for power cable and non fused for the earth! is that rite guys?

Correct. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

There is no need for fusing on the ground (earth) connection(s).
