Question
i am puttin a system in my extended cab truck and was wondering how i go about hooking to amps up at one time i have twelves and two tens,,i have 650 watt and a 600 watt amp to hook up what is the best way to do it? thanks chris
Hi Chris.
I use an Alpine fader so I can not only power two amps from one RCA pair of leads but alter the sound between them but if you only have one set of RCAs fron the head unit and two amps to power you can use a T connector.
I use a seperate 100amp hour spiral battery and a split charge relay also with a gold block fuse/distrubution unit between the battery inline fuse and the amps which are earthed diectly to chassis about 3" from the terminals. Good quality oxygen free cable to the speakers. split signal wire from head unit to each amps signal input.O.K.
