[QUOTE="Gdrake1996, post: 8612780, member: 674192"] Whenever your hooking up 2 amps, you have to think of the best way to wire it obviously, but honestly, you could run 2 seperate power wires to your amps. They are both relatively low amps and don't really have a large amoumt of power to draw. And also take into consideration the ohms your speakers demand. But, i would get 2 660 watt power wire kits from walmart to power them both. And with your rca cables, you run one from your head unit to an amp that has input AND an output for the rca's. Then run the other set of rcas from the first amp to the second. And honestly i wouldn't worry about running a cap till you start talking big boy speakers like jlw7s or anything running 1 ohm with 1000+ watts. Any decent alternator can push that set up without dimming lights [/QUOTE]
