i already have one amp installed in my car, i was wondering how i would install another without buying a whole other amp kit. thanks

 

It's fairly easy. If you've already installed one amp, you can do another no problemo:

Pick up a (fused - always recommended) distribution block as well as an unfused distribution/grounding block. These 'distribute' (go figure) both the power from the main lead (positive)wire (from the battery) and the 'ground' (negative) into both/any number of amplifiers. However, if you only have an 8 awg wiring kit, you'll have to upgrade to 4 awg for your main power and ground wire and save the 8 awg for the secondary power and ground wires (from the distro blocks to the amps). Once you see a distro block, it'll make sense (i.e, for two amps, both distro blocks will EACH have one main wire in and 2 smaller wires out) . You'll need to fuse the (positive) power wires (ofcourse) anytime you change wire size. You don't fuse ground wires. As for fuse sizes, the 8 awg wires (fused at/in the distro block) should not exceed 50 amps. As for a 4 awg wire (from the battery), install a fuse no larger than 125 A. The good thing is that this will not cost very much. Hope this helps and have a happy install. PM me for further detail(s), but I'm sure you'll be fine. Cheers...
