Adding an amp

[Niva]

Im about to buy a monoblock to run my sub, but will be keeping the 4ch for the 6x9's, is it ok to daisy chain the power cable with a proper splitter?

cheers

Get a Distribution block. Axis make a good cheapie (0Ga in, 4x4Ga out)
Also be sure your power cable is upto the current draw from your battery.

dont daisy chain the remote wire for the amps eiether, get a decent relay.

as kirbo said, buy a distro block, you can pick em up fairly cheap from just about any car audio place and run an independant remote wire.

The battery doesnt draw current from the amp?

Good point Ricey, I shouldn't post to such a technical questions when tired. Dangerous when your the 5-0.

An electronic device will draw current from its power source. PS, I'm in Bentley today if you want to swing by and collect those speakers.

whats the reason behind both amps being turned on by the same remote wire?

The amp kit i got is a sony one, came with everything i needed cost about 150.. I assume this power cable is up to the job?

the only reason im asking is it took a LONG time to run the wiring, mainly becouse no matter how hard u try russian plastic does not go back together properly

Ricey, you have my mobile number you douche!

Niva: I'm sure the wiring kit is upto the job but just to be 100%, post up all of your system details. Model numbers will do + wiring kit specs. Using the same remote wire for two amps will be fine, I assure you. For those anal, any more than one/two will require a relay. + make sure its fused just after the battery, not just before the amps. Mmm sleep time.
