Im adding another amp for two speakers. I have a dis. block right now and wondering if i can just go off that dis block for the power or do i have to do something more than that with two amps?

Thanks.

You're only adding 25-30 more amps (if that). You have 1/0 gauge power wire which is good for around 275/330 amps and that's depending on if the wire is CCA or OFC.

If he uses a smaller wire from the block to the amp shouldn't it be fused as well? Just in case he doesn't run zero to the speaker amp..?
