How do i wire two amps up???
Im wondering how to wire two amps which are the exact same model in order to drive two separate subs. I just bought two Kicker CVX 12s and since im on a budget i plan to keep my sony amp which will push 500 watts RMS bridged buy another one just like it(i kno not the best but im broke) and drive the subs separately by each. That way i can bridge em both and get the best power for my money. Is this possible? Would i need to buy a new amp wiring kit or just get power distribution block. Would i need to run rca s from amp to amp or get a new set and run em from the back of the head unit to the other amp? Thanks for the help

Re: How do i wire two amps up???
What sony model amps, because there never rated at what they say. Ive run over 1000 rms on 4 gauge cable, if worse comes to worse just get another 4 gauge kit and run them side by side one for each amp. If not 2 gauge can be bought from advanced auto parts or auto zone for 2 bucks a foot. I have 1-4 gauge running to my 2 amps for my speakers, and 8-gauge running for the amp for the subs. Im running about 250 for the speaks and 150 for the subs. Im getting ready to run a length of 1/0 cable for my new amp.

You can most likely run both amps off of the 4 Ga power wire. As for the RCA, you can just get a pair of Y-splitters.
