question on dual inputs on amps

[BassAndBeer]

so you know how bc5500 and a lot of high powered 16v capable amps have dual inputs? do you have to use both? like lets say I wasn't planning on running below 1 ohm, would I be able to use just 1 input? like just one positive to the positive, and a ground to the ground and leave the other side without any

yes, you need to use both for sure. due to limitations on power transfer on cable that fits in the amp, you'll need to use both to not cause strain.

for even better results you'll want to use dual inputs on the inputs of the amp. you can gain easy wattage this way, and even less strain under an amperage load

dual inputs like those tool maker ones? so a total of 4 positive, and 4 negative on 1 amp? if im correct, that's a lot of wire.. lol but it would look ******!! and it will be getting all the juice it needs to make power

no problem, take your time and do it right for the most impressive results. The electrical being the most important aspect of the install on high power setups, will drastically show in the end results of your build.

I like dual inputs, Amps are ice cold after i got one in. installing is quick and easy, no more feathering wires.
@BassAndBeer here are some number testing with dual inputs
