Just wondering what the best way to hook a 2nd amp to the same remote lead would be. I have a nice kenwood HU, so if's too risky to have 2 amps running off the same lead, I'll get a relay. But if its safe, should I solder the 2nd lead to the original wire near the HU or near the amp?

 

You should be fine tapping a second turn on lead without having to use a relay. I would tap towards the turn on lead of the original amp installed. I don't feel it is necessary to solder though.

 

thanks for the reply

yea its probably not necessary to solder, but I don't mind doing it. I've always soldered HU connections, so I'm just used to it I guess:dunno:

 

There's nothing wrong with soldering by any means. Alot of people find it to be a pain in the ass though. If you have no problems with that...I'd say go for it.

 

be sure not to run *too much stuff off of that line. if you have to run a few big amps, use a relay. however i havent had trouble using that one lead to turn on 2 amps and a digital thingy for my cap.

 

yea, I'm not gonna add anything else to the same lead without adding a relay. I installed the 2nd amp last week or so, and all is fine. I was lazy, so I didn't solder the turn on leadh:

 

I've run 3 amps and a digital 1 farad cap off of an old Alpine deck and have zero problems.
