adding a second amp
whats up ppl?
currently im running 2 JL W3's off a mono RF amp, and i need to add amp to my two pairs of kenwood excelon 6.5's.
Im thinking about getting a RF 4 channel amp, but before I do I need to know about powering it.
Will it be safe to run a 2nd power wire directly from the battery, or will I need to get a distro. block?
(my sub amp is powered by a 4g. wire, the amp I want will be powered by an 8 g. wire)

what is the RF amp you have? 800.2? if its any bigger, i would run another wire. if not, just use a d-block. if you can find one with 4in-4&8out. you can also use the 4out for the 8 guage. just make sure it wont come loose.

the amp i have now is 1000.1.
the main reason i asked was because i know it shard to find a distro block with a 4 and 8 out.
so there shouldnt be any problem running the 2nd wire then?

oh yeah and 1 more question....
from what I've heard its also ok to power two amps with the same remote turn on lead...correct? If so how would I go about wiring that piece? would I just connect a second remote wire midway on the existing one?

there is a risk with powering too many things with the decks remote turn on. once that wire blows....you are just about SOL. what you can do is wire that to a relay...thatll take care of the risk.
there is no problem with running another power wire. i have 2 4Guages in my car right now.
