[QUOTE="Nnn, post: 8763289, member: 683973"] Hello, I was looking to wire up an amp for front speakers, another for rear speakers, and another for the sub. Assuming the head unit has RCA outs for each, is it as simple as running an amp wiring kit from each amp to a distribution block. Eg all power to a distribution block, then to a fuse and the battery. All ground to a distribution block, then to a ground on the chassis. Large gauge on the final to and from, and relevant gauges for each amp etc? If that makes sense. If so, just one big fuse near the battery? any separate fuses after the distribution block? For reference, the speakers would be 200w max, the amps for each will be 400w max. The amp is 1800w max and 2 subs are 1000w max each. I would assume its 0 gauge from the battery to distribution block, then a smaller gauge to the sub amp, even smaller gauge to the speaker amps. Then the same for ground. 0 gauge from chassis to distribution block etc I've only ever had speakers off a head unit, then wired a sub/amp. I just want to be sure of what I'm doing so I don't kill anything. What I just wrote makes sense to me in theory, but I'm no microbiologist. Any help would be great. Or diagrams.
