[QUOTE="Hydrastas, post: 1568208, member: 566848"] My head unit only has 2 channels for low output, and i want to install 2 amps, so i went and got some y adapters. I used the y adapters to get two right and two left channels. When i hooked up one amp to one of my subs it sounded normal, as if i weren't even using the y adapters. Then i did the same for the other sub, and as soon as i hooked that subs rca cables into the two remaining low outputs the sub that was previously hooked up got weaker, as if it were only getting 50% of what it was getting prior to me hooking up the 2nd subs rca cables. The amp kit that i have installed is only a kit up to 550 watts, and i have 340 watt and 200 watt amps hooked up which are probably overrated anyway, so im sure that it can't be the gauge of the power wire. It most likely has something to do with sound waves and not power issues. Im just lost as to what the cause is, and getting annoyed at just knowing it's effect, any help? [/QUOTE]
