Wiring help

[Crusader10143]

Hey all new to the forums here, im having a bit of a prob trying to hook up another amp to my system, as it stand i have a kenwood hu, 2 earthquake magma 12's, a 500w sony amp powering my highs and a American bass 900w amp pushing my subs, and a 20 farad power acoustic cap. I have an extra kole audio 620w amp i wanna link to the american bass but cant figure out how to get them to link. Their both 2ch, it looks like a wiring mess in my backseat but ive had everything hooked up right so far. i bought a dist block and i got the power from both amps into the 4g holes and my power wire from my cap into the 0g hole. i ran remote wire from amp to amp and now im stumped. i have the american bass amp grounded off the cap and the cap to metal. Do i ground the kole amp to the same ground or separate, also ive read many posts as far as using y splitters so i have 3 sets of them(2 female, 2 male on each end so its more of an x splitter) and not sure how to run them, from what ive seen its hook them into the back of the hu and run the rcas off the amps into them. also i have speaker wire going from the american bass amp into the subs so do i run another set into the subs off the kole as well or no? help needed thanks

Get rid of the cap. And as far as I know you can't strap 2 Completely different amps.... Nor would I want to mix that ab amp with the kole....

Not even if their both bridgeable? and yes ive heard alot of ppl say no caps, that mean get a kinetic battery instead?

for those amps you don't need a second battery, but what are you trying to do with three amps what will each amp be powering?

the sony is already hooked up to my highs and the american bass is already hooked up to my subs, it just wasnt enough power for the subs tho so i wanted to add the kole for more power
