how to set up

[kwickez]

i have 2 10" kicker subs hooked up to a mono amp with a 60 fuse in battery fuse block.if i want to add a 2 channel amp and run it @ 2ohms each channel how do i do this. do i have to get a distribution block and get a bigger fuse for the fuse block.i have no idea of what im going to need.

okay to add another amp your going have to run your org. wire into a d-block and split it in two- example- 1/0 awg-d-block= 2 4wgs or 4 8 awgs. if you want it to run at two ohm you hook your subs up that way what ohms are what ever you want to amp im geussing speakers or more subs?

there are two options.

#1 - have a fused distribution block close to the battery and run 2 power wires. (i did this because 1/0 wire is not cheap)

#2 - have a fuse holder and run a single power wire close to the amps and then use a fused distribution block to split it.

as for the ohm load, it depends on the speakers you are going to use.

make your own power cable its way cheaper than buying a kit

1 autozone sells heavy guage wire that looks like it would fit on a big rig

1.19 a foot if you wanna get crazy with it

2 radio shack has alot of wire an fuse holders

3 home depot can help you also

auto zone is the place to go they got the battery connectors , wire , fuse holder,
wire ends , all of it way cheaper than buying a kit

there is a lil thing called you get what you pay for. ive seen alot of hack a$$ install jobs in my day(being that i own a car audio store) and them guys that like to use welding cable or like 6 strand solid copper 4 gauge(for the "big rigs") and electrical cords for speaker wires.. to be honest they got something wrong with thier heads.. i think my favorite one to date was a guy who had 1 12''woofer and one 10'' mounted in a suit case.. and what was in the suit case besides the woofers.. OF COURSE, THE AMPS!!!

DO IT ONCE , DO IT RIGHT.. :cool:
