Help Wiring 2 Amps

[Bubba88 10+ year member]

Well I have searched and want to be sure I have this right. I bought a Distribution block to seperate the power wire. It has a 0 gauge input and 4 gauge output going to a 1500 watt Hifonics and a MA Audio m289i.

So after that I can split the remote turn on wire and send the one to both the amps.

Then for the ground I can run them to the same ground but do I also need a distribution block?

Then I get another pair of RCA's and a splitter for the headunit and run two pairs of RCA's from the H/U one to each amp.

Is all this correct or am I getting something wrong? I want to do this right the first time. Any help is greatly appreciated.

i wired my remote wire through a 12v relay. I'm not sure if you need one for just 2 amps, but i would just for safety. plus you could show your friends some amazing lookin wiring job //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

"So after that I can split the remote turn on wire and send the one to both the amps." Answer=Your remote turn on lead should have enough juice to turn on two amps but if you want to add more later you will need a relay as the remote on has a limited amount of current it can put out.

"Then for the ground I can run them to the same ground but do I also need a distribution block?"Answer= Yes run them to a common ground, it is the recommended way to do it. As for a distro block, it doesn't matter, the electrons don't care what you use so long as they get back to the negative terminal on the battery

"Then I get another pair of RCA's and a splitter for the headunit and run two pairs of RCA's from the H/U one to each amp."Answer= The splitters will work fine.
