how do i run two amps.at the same time?

Answer 1

Some amps have outputs so you can chain them together, You may need a power distrabution block that will take one large wire and split it into two smaller wires

Answer 2

Run a wire twice the recommended size for the larger amp to a distrobution block. From the block run the required gauge wire to each amp. Ground both amps to the same location. The fuse by the battery should be the sum of all fuses on both amps.

If your total system power is more than 1000 watts RMS you will need to:

1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator
2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery
3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator and the ground strap.

Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail.

Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621

You'll need Microsft Excel to use it.

Answer 3

Get what's called a distribution block (see example in sources) that will let you run one power cable from the cars battery to your amp location and then split off power cables for multiple amps.

Rule of thumb thicker power cable is better. Buy your power cable at home depot or somewhere like that rather than a car stereo store - copper wire is copper wire.

Keep in mind that depending on your car and amplifiers the more you run the more likely it is you'll need to invest in an upgraded battery and/or capacitor for your car.

Answer 4

What are you trying to do? Billy Gibbons(ZZ Top) used small tube amps to drive larger concert amps-using the smaller amp as a preamp to boost signal strength. Or, if you want one amp for clean and another amp for distortion you can split the signal. You local music store can clarify.

Answer 5

hook them up the same way u would hook up 1 just take the main input wire plug it up get a norther 1plug it to the output of the same amp and run that output to the new amps input

Answer 6

you just conect them together if you have 2 speakers or more
if that is not the case you need to explain or ask the question again we can not see your trunk and don't know what you are doing
