Car Audio Q&A "Amplifier Wiring Question from Zach." Amp Kits Pass Through RCA cables

[jasonmangal]

for my second amp ( a 4 channel ) i just put in a another ring connector to my cap for + and grounded it separately, just spliced into the remote of other amp..works fine but im wondering if i should increase my fuses on power cables? i got it with a 50 amp fuse...increased it 80 after i bought a bigger amp cause it blew. now i have 4 channel hooked up too . should i increase it to a 100 amp..i dont noe if im under powering my amps..my bass has a 4 guage wires and my highs have a 12 guage wires.

my factory radio is nice and sounds great but has no rca on it and i want to set up 2 12 inch subs with an amp of course so is there any way i can wire an amp to my radio without the rca on the radio? PLEASE HELP ME

[iluvithaha]

can i hookup my amp ground off my ground from my second batt instead of drilling another hole in my car?

[BastardRevolver]

THE AMP KITS SAY FOR "300" WATTS IS THAT MEANING RMS OR PEAK......

[cantstopmyADD]

i need a

rca volume knob for turning my amp up and down is there a difference and where can i get one (mono amp only need one)

hey i have two amps 4 subs... i dont really understand how to get the headunit imput to both amps??? and soo ur saying that if i get the 0 gauge cord and a distribution block then i should be fine??

[trakkon14]

How Do I use that?

[cantstopmyADD]

@trakkon14 use a y splitter

[trakkon14]

Man my headunit has one output and my 2 amps only have inputs (no outputs on either of them). How do I connect my rca's for them?

[soundmancaraudio]

@trakkon14 You can use a "y" cable.

[Metaliica474921]

this is random but how do you hook up rcas when theres only 2 outputs for r and l ? what do i do ? got a rockford amp and cant afford a new deck at the time . i mean 4 total out puts , 2 r's and 2 l's

[Roccop45]

witht he remote wire do you run 2 from the head unit or can you run 1 remote wire from the head deck and then jump it with a small remote from 1 amp to the other?

[soundmancaraudio]

@Roccop45 Yes. That's right

[happydoggs]

you forgot to mention to get a fuse block and fuse when buying the separate parts

[MagicalMrSkylar]

zach, dont forget about the power source, pulling too much power from a batt and alt will eventually fry the batt and alt.

[loch2hot]

for me i needed 8 for my 2 amps, but i just ran a 4 cable to a block that split it, then i just ran the 4 to my amps, is that ok?

can u make a video of how to set gains with an ohm meter? i tryed o do this, but im not sure if i did good, or have the right amount of watts goin threw the channels, but i know my system is not clipping
