Question

i am installing 2 amps to my truck i have a basic idea of what im doing, but a wiring diagram would really help me out alot. anyone know where to find one?

Answer 1

No but its very straight forward.

Get youself some thick (maybe 4 gauge)wire run it from your battery + to where you are going to install your amps (but do not hook up till your done).

Then grab yourself a spliter box (these are availble from any stereo or most car acceries shops). This is used to "split" the thick cable to 2 or more smaller cables. I would be using 8 guage for this.

Now once you have put the splitter in you will have 2 power cables, run 1 to each of your amps.

Now that is done you will need to run a "remote" wire from your head deck, you will be able to piggy back these from one amp to the other, as it is very low volts, ie run it to one amp then just get another wire from that amp to the other remote terminal. (or you can just run 2 down from your head deck)

Now This is done you need to find a suitable earth, remember you should use the same thickness of wire you used for the + so once you have found an earth, you can either piggy back it or do a seperate earth.

Thats about it, just run down the RCA'S and your done.

You can install an inline fuse close to your battery if you wish which is not a bad idea

It definitely depends what you are pushing, subwoofer wise, of course, but I would say at least 2 guage wire, since there will be 2 amps. You dont need 2 power wires to run to each am, thats a waste of money and space. Get a distribution bloce, probably 1 0-2 guage to 2 or more 4 guage. Next, you need 2 lengths of 4 guage power wire to run from the bistribution block to each amp.

Here, maybe this will help:

There really is no diagram, all you will have to do is run two power lines, two grounds, wire your acc in serial across the amps. if your stereo has two sets of rca outputs, run two cables. If not, you can buy a splitter and split the one RCA at the amps, and run a set of cables to each amp.

Best of Luck!
