a distrobution block so you can split your power wire from the battery to both amps.

i believe stinger makes a "T" block. last ive seen them was at http://www.sounddomain.com for few bucks.


as for remote, just link them one to another.

ground; just add an additional terminal for the current grounding location you have now.

on the remote wire what do i do, since its hooked up to one amp. what do u mean link them to one another. and what about the RCA preouts? which amp do i hook them to.

on 1 of my amps it has input and output rca preouts, so do i just hook it from the output to another amp?

yes, you can run rca's from one amp to another, and for the remote wire, get a t-tap and tap the new amp's remote wire into the existing one. Look on ebay for distribution blocks, I got one on there real cheap a few months back.

WHY? (one amp per sub?) If so , Y-cable for RCA's , distribution block for power and ground , and just splice the remotes together.

The grounds you just run one off each amp and ground them to the same place.

The amp control lead you can just daisy chain from one amp to the next.

The RCAs are a differant story, it will depend on the amp, and the HU you have, if the amp has a "L" input, [left input] you can switch it to that mode and just plug the RCAs into the left input of each amp, if not then the into one amp and out to the other. [daisy chain] will work, some HUs have a "mixed" or mono sub output, handy if using the "L" input mode. 94

Are you talking about strapping two amps to a sub?

If so your amplifier needs to be a mono amplifier.

Is it?
