Would like to know how to hook up two car audio amps?

[boss]

i never hooked up 2 amps before, but im pretty sure u need a distributor (it splits the power wire into 2 cables, this allows u to connect both amps with only one power cable connected to ur battery)
everything else such as the interconnects should connect to the back of ur stereo to ur amps (which means u will need 2 sets of interconnects cables, one for each amp)
u also need to connect the remote wire from ur stereo to ur amps (also need 2 sets, one for each amp)... my stereo only has ONE wire in which to connect ONE remote wire... (which means i can only connect ONE of the remote wires to ONE of the amps) this will leave u with the other remote wire that still needs to be connected, so wut i would do is splice into the other remote wire, (this way both remote wires are hooked up n give power to both amps)

by the way subs are better if u hook them up to class D monoblock amps... 2-channel still works but wutever, u learn from experience haha

Hey boss, and welcome!

Was there a question in there somewhere? Sounds like you've already got it figured out pretty much. The only suggestion I'll make, and this is probably OCD on my part, but if you're hooking up multiple devices to a single remote turn on signal wire, it's best to use a relay to keep from frying your head unit. Truth be told, your head unit could probably handle triggering two amps; but since relays are so cheap, it's better to be safe than sorry.

How did this post end up in the Home Theater Hardware Hangout? You probably ought to PM a mod and ask to have your post moved if you're looking for more responses.
