Installing 2 amps if you've only got 1xpreouts on your headunit.
I've got 0ga cable running to my distro block to 2x4ga cable with 1x4ga running to my monoblock and the other 4ga to my 2nd amp.
I've got rca's running from my monoblock out's to the rca in's on the 2nd amp.
I've daisy chained the remote wire from the monoblock to the 2nd amp.
Using 4ga cable to ground both amps at seperate points.

So I've got my monoblock running my subwoofer and of course making sure it's not clipping most people recommend not turning your gains up over 2/3 and also never turning your headunit up 2/3 the way too.

On my 2nd amp I'm running components but I've only got the gains on that up half way because the signals being run off the monoblock so I don't want it affecting my components.

If anybody has any questions just ask I'm obviously not a pro car audio installer but I just hook my sounds up to work to the best of my knowledge not to look good.

  • aslong as it works yeah but if you tidied it up it would look better also wouldnt it be easier to just say you bridged the amps

  • @vamp2k0 Probably but some people don't really know what bridging is lol anyway I haven't had this setup for ages. Look at some of my later videos and I've made my own homemade amp rack and it's alot tidier

  • man i dont care how broke you are theres a wrong way and a right way yes

    and throwing a amp on top of a bunch of shit and calling it installed is not right

    for f@#K sake bolt the friggn things down it will look a hundred times better srews are cheap wire hold downs are cheap its amazing what 12-15 bucks will get done in a car stereo

    bolt em down dont wanna drill into the floor carpet a board then mount it to the boardive seen velcro used to hold down some amps to the floor

    fix ur shit

  • @DJfive5six As long as it works I really don't give a shit. I've never been zapped never had any problems so what would mounting it properly and making it look good do for me? Anyway I got rid of setup along time ago

  • @hemhemimakatekobum yeah i am sure it didnt last very long huh grumpy

  • @DJfive5six Bout a year, just long enough til I upgraded everything
