[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 158266, member: 540940"] If it were me I'd sell both amps on ebay and buy a class D amp that's capable of powering all 3 subs. But if you're set on using 2 760W amps (the sonys?) I would recommend getting a hold of a 4 ga dual amp kit off ebay, they're usually about $50 shipped. It will have all the stuff you need to wire two amps the right way. You'd run: [LIST] [*][SIZE=8px]4 ga wire from battery to fused distribution block[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=8px]8 ga wire from distribution block to each amp's (+)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=8px]8 ga wire from each amp's (-) to un-fused distribution block[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=8px]4 ga wire from unfused block to grounding point[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=8px]Remote wire can simply be daisy chained --> hu to amp to amp[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=8px]RCA's - y-cables would be easiest[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=8px]Also don't forget a fuse (about 60A) in your 4 ga power wire close to the battery (within a foot or 2)[/SIZE] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
