Wiring up amps
I want to connect 2 amps together....I need some help, a link or some tech help.....
I'm trying to connect 2 amps together....what should I put into consideration involving capacitors, proper wiring, and proper RCA cables, and making sure the amps get enough juice....any help will do, thanx

no, not like that, I meant connecting 2 amps to pump the subs that I have. I already have one amp for the interior speakers, and one amp for the subs, but I'm changing my subs and I'm connecting 2 amps to pump my new subs. I know that the 2 amps have to be the same, but power wise, HOw can I do this. I know how to connect them with the RCA jack active pass thru, but what else do I have to put into consideration...thanx

As far as power wise, run some heavy gauge wire (2-4 depending on total power) and run it to a distribution block in the trunk area. Then run some 8 gauge off the block to each of the amps for the power. Run seperate ground wires, although they can be ground the same place (ie the same seat belt bolt) and just tap into the remote wire to get your extra remote lead. As far as the capacitor goes, there are a couople of experts on here (pearl96max..don) who would know better than I.

I don't know if I am more confused by the question , the responses, or th eimmort I am drinking, burb, I mean immort.
But as one person said do you intend to truly daisy chain or do you just want a seperate amp for each sub? Or do you want one large monoblock for both subs? With a true daisy chain configuration the amp outputs bridge. The above post was not about this type of daisy chain but simply runnning RCA outs to another amps RCA ins. There are not many amps that can daisy chain, and the number fo people who have the need is likewise few.
