You need a Distrobution block for the positive(+) and one for the ground (-)

You need a RCA cable to go from existing amp's RCA output to 4 channels input

Also, you need to jumper the remote of the existing amp to the new amp.

This is one way to do it, assuming you have power flow to spare on your current power wire.

What kind of power is the monoblock pushing, and what size power wire does it have at the moment?

i am only using 4 guage wire (ya pretty bad) and i am pushing about 1000 watts

Depending on the 4 ga running 1000w is fine.

People of here like to overkill (1/0)

Of course I have ~110AH in batteries and 1/0 for 1500w //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
