Now What?

Hey guys? What's going on? Alright, well I just bought an amp (US Acoustics USB-4065) for my 4 speakers so I am trying to figure out what I need to get it hooked up.

My current system is:

Car - 1995 Saturn SC2

HU - Pioneer DEH-P3500

Fronts/Rears - Infinity Reference 6.5 Coaxials

Sub - 12" Kicker CVR

Sub Amp - Hifonics BX1000D

Since I already have power wires run through my car to the trunk for my sub amp, I assume I can use that for my new amp too, right? What else am I going to exactly need to get this new amp running?

Just 2 distrobution blocks. One for splitting the power and the other for the ground. What guage wire do you already have ran?

Upgrading to at least 2 guage(1/0 would be the best) would be a good idea. Then from the blocks run 4 guage to the amps. Your Hifonics will thank you...

You wont really need 1/0 guage for less than 1000 watts. Your only running that HiFonics at 2 ohms right?

Basically, all you need is a distrobution block, and another set of RCA's.

For now, the hifonics is being run at 2 ohms... Maybe next summer, ill get another sub and go to 1 ohms but for now, only 2.

2 sets of rcas, wiring, and a distro block. Run wire from your speakers to your amp. yada yada.

Wouldn't you just run from ground on each amp to chassis??
