does anyone have any idea how to connect a 2nd amp?

 

:doh: Iam the type of person who would pay $60 bucks to save my time, stiff body and sweat as I work 63 hours a week.


aint never gonna tell no one to do the same again:wavey: sorry I posted here.

 

You need a different line of work. I work 32 hrs a week...but it only took me 8 years of school to be able to do that haha.

 

so'em does any one know how to hook up a 2nd amp

 

sorry to be off topic but I have a degree in Politics/Computer science with a GPA of 4.0 from UTA and couple other certifications like Microsoft and Oracle etc. After more than a year of no job, I decided to start my own business and in Jewelry or any other business you have to be there all the time because employees dont take care of the business like yourself.

For the 2nd amp, buy Piggy-back RCA cables which will allow you to split the RCA output into two, hook up one to one amp and second to the other one.

 

you need to split the power cable...theres a box you can buy that has two inline fuses and split the remote wire and buy y connector for the rca cables...ive done that and it works fine

 

2 amps for what?

1 amp = sub, 1 amp = normal speakers?

2 amps = subs?

2 amps = normal speakers?

 

My amp installation took three days, it came out well (gen6). I mounted the entire unit in the gap behind the boot carpet on the gas tank filler side. The amp cant get too hot in there because it is in the return path for the air conditioning. When you open the boot you can't see a single sign of it which for a full size Nakamichi 1004 aint bad. I dont know if all you guys do it this way, but the mounting bracket took a day in its own right.

That said i am fairly picky about how i like things done. If you want pics let me know, if everyone does it then just be nice

cheers,

Cool, good luck with the new business.

 

Sorry for skimming the 2nd amp questions but when I hook up a second amp I prefer to split the power wire with a distribution block.

Basically take the amp main power wire and drop it down to the next lower gauge (higher AWG number) to feed each amp. Put a fuse near the battery for the main wire and one on each amp feed if you like.

Ground each amp with the same guage of wire you use to feed them power, but to be clear it's a ground wire not the same power wire, duh.

As for RCA signal....some amps have a pass through, else you could split one of your RCA feeds like others have said if your HU doesn't have 3 sets of pre-outs for your needs, etc.

And you need to be sure that you have enough power wire to feed both amps. If the amp you have installed already is using the smallest gauge feed wire, ex 8-10AWG type wire, you will likely need a much larger gauge power to split and feed both amps, a 4AWG is like the min size wire for this job.

This also brings to mind that you may need a capacitor in your system as well with the second amp.....

Sorry for butting in.
