Noob Needs Help

[ZeroOrDie895]

Ok im new to everything that has to do with Stereo Systems. I have a couple questions.

1. I only have one Preamp output but i want to run 2 amps. One for my subs and one for my back 2 speakers. Is their a way to hook up the 2 amps?

2. I have a 4X50 HU but i want to just use 2 channels to run the door speakers will it only run 50 watts per channel even if im only using 2? I want to have it so it would run 2 channels at 100 watts apiece. Is their any way that i can do this?

1. unless you already have the amps get some amps with auxillary preamp outputs that way you can use that to run the second amp

2. ive never seen someone bridege a head unit and i dont think its possible or wise to do so you are better off just picking up another external amp

1) Yes you can use two amps, just go to Radio shack and get a Y spliter.

2) You cannot bridge you HU. Like Azbass said, Amp your front speakers. Use your HU to run the back. All you want rear speakers for is fill.

if your amp has an RCA output you can use that to run an additional amp as well.
