secondary amp install help :|

[BanginJimmy]

I am assuming you already have an amp and a sub in there so:

1. You just need to get a piece of 16awg wire it and run it from the remote turn on terminal of amp 1 and run it to amp 2.
2. Do you have components (seperate woofer and tweeter) or do you have coax (tweeter as part of the woofer)?
if you have components then get access to your x-over and run your wiring to there. If youhave coax then pull your door panel off, pull out your speaker, rip out the factory wiring and run all new speaker wire from the amp to the speaker.

3. Assuming you have proper awg wire already from the battery then you need to get a FUSED distribution block and run 1 wire to each amp from there. You want to match the fuse size with the manufacturers specs. Also if you have an inline fuse within 18" of your battery then make sure you change that fuse wth the proper size also.

4. That should be fine, but get some sandpaper and get rid of all the pain and primer first. You want your ground to be bare metal.


With the questions you are asking I can tell you have very little experience doing this, so I would further suggest you bring this to a shop and let them do it for you.

they are components

well the thing is, im pretty sure that has already been done since there was an amp previously there. theres already speaker wire under the seat.

when i look at the positive battery terminal, there are two 8 ga wires.one for the sub and one for the secondary amp (which isnt hooked up) soo i guess the previous install wasnt done right?

thanks for the help

Then pull the seats and the carpet and look. Its MUCH easier to run all the wiring without all that in the way anyways. You really need to pull the door panels anyways and look at the wiring on there. Hopefully its not too screwed up.

Its fine to do it that way so long as both wires are properly fused. My personal preference is to use a single strand of larger wire to a distro block though.

thanks for the help

no problem
