[QUOTE="kr15, post: 6812613, member: 620194"] I have a shitty pioneer deck with only one set of preouts. currently i only have a bass amp, but will be adding a 4ch this weekend. As to the RCAs. Am I going to need to get the Y splitters into the 4ch? The deck has 1 "general" preout (its not a "low" or "high" preout)...If this is the case, I was going to run the rcas from HU to 4 channel, Y the signal to go into both amp inputs. From there, I was going to dasiychain from 4ch outs to mono inputs....Ok, thats the RCA issue Now the power wire issue. I have 4ga going straight to my bass amp, and I dont want to disturb that. So, I have some 8ga that Im going to run straight to the 4ch. I dont want to use a distro, Id rather keep each amp on their own wire. My mono is inline fused. Is it required that I inline fuse the 4ch also? I know that some people dont fuse their power wire, but perhaps these people have more 12v knowledge than I do..So what are the factors around fusing/not fusing a power wire? Thanks for the help guys [/QUOTE]
