hi everyone this might be a really stupid wuestion but is there any way of hooking up two amps with just one power lead. can i hook them up in parallel. they are only a 75watt rms and a 100 watt rms. the wire that i have going to them is 10 guage and should handle it but i'm not sure if there will be enough amps to run both.

thanks,
theo

go get a power distrobution block from an audio store. Takes the single wire and gives you a place to run out 2 more from it. 10 guage should be fine for that. Also make sure the fuse near your battery is big enough for the amps of power the 2 amplifiers will need. Also, run seperate ground wires for each amp.

thanks for the help only one question yet how do i figure out how big of a fuse right now i have a 35amp.


thanks again for all the help,

thats more than enough. You can check how many amps the amplifiers pull by looking it up on their website/packaging, or looking at the fuse on the amp. For example mine have 25amp fuses in the amplifier, so if I have 2 amps, I need a 50 near the battery.

 

O.K. thanks for the help so far everyone. i now have a power distribution block with seperate fuse to each output lead. now all i need to do is find a connector and i cant find it anywhere. we are going to use preamps on one of the amps and high inputs on the other. the only thing is that we cant find a 6pin connector for the second amp. i have tried the car parts stores, radio "hut" and the local harware sotres. does anyone know where else i might look to fin one.

again thanks alot,
