[QUOTE="greaser1938, post: 8619759, member: 674419"] Oh man... adding the PAD200.2 is tempting. Really tempting. I have two concerns though: 1. As I mentioned, I've gone to great lengths to hide this whole system. The car (1949 Ford coupe) is a very traditional custom built as if some high school kid built it in around 1955. I've gone so far as to completely hide the 4AWG power cable from the amp in the main wiring harness all the way up to the battery under the hood. I even wrapped it in vintage braided wire loom... It took forever... and was a total pain in the ***. Could both the amps run off the same 4AWG power cable if I used an appropriate power distribution block? 2. Along those same lines, the car is running a generator... not an alternator. With the current amp, the generator does a decent job of keeping up with the electrical demands. Would adding a second amp pull much more draw? [/QUOTE]
