First off make sure you have the amps ran properly. Next to run this set up you need to get some Y jacks from radio shack so both amps are hooked into the subwoofers (preout) on the back of the deck. Next hopefully both your amps are either 2-ch or mono. If it is 2-ch bridge one on each amp this way you use both channels on the amp. If it is mono it is only one channel anyway. Make sure your inline fuse to your battery is big enough, you can't go wrong with ANL fuses 200 amps.
AnswerMight want to also think about a capacitor for sound quality when running multiple amps.SOOOOOOO were putting 1 amp to each woofer? but if one of your amps have a input and a output jacjs then you would not need the 'Y' jacks?
AnswerI'm running 2 kicker amps, one has 2 kicker 12's and the other has a pioneer 10. I run individual power and ground wires. 1 remote from the deck to the main amp and a wire running from the remote terminals on each amp. Then I have my RCA wires from the deck going to the main amp, and another set of RCA wires going from the output on the main amp to the secondary amp. If you don't have an amp with a RCA pass through, then yes, you will need a RCA splitter (Y cable).

∙ 16y agoI recently bought a pair of subwoofers and a 850w monoblock amp. I just hooked them up parallel with each other. That is I took the two positive wires and put them both in the same hole on the amp, then did the same with the negative. They can also be hooked up in series with each other, that is, running one set of wires from the amp to one sub then wires from that sub to the other. Mine sound pretty amazing like i have them.

∙ 15y agoDo it. There is really no 4 ohm amplifier for your loudspeaker. The output impedance of a good amplifier is less than 0.5 ohm. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage bridging or impedance bridging - Zout < Zin - Interconnection of two audio units".

∙ 14y agoAre the subs dual voice coil or single voice coil? what's the ohm load of the subs? at 2 and 4 ohms what is the amps RMS rating? What is the rms rating on the sub? Does the amp list any specs for 1 ohm? If so what is that? is the amp a mono, 2-channel, or 4-channel? Please be more specific with you answer so that I can figure out the best way to wire it with out the risk of blowing anything.

Bridge two subs to a four channel amp?
If you amp is bridgeable you run + sub wire to ch 1 + then the -sub wire to the - of ch 2 of the amp. The same with the other sub + ch3 - ch4 that's how to bridge your amp.
How do you connect two amps to four subs?
Run a 2 sub per amp set-up. Get a distribution block for you power wire to split the power wire. You can run the remote wire from your stereo to one amp and then from the amp to the other amp. you will also need 2 sets of RCA's Easy way is too get a 4 channel amp to power 4 subs.
Were do you plug your subs into?
well you plug your sub into your amp you do have an amp write
For sub woofers do you need a mono amp or a 2 channel amp?
Depends if you are building heavy bass system with quite a few subs then a mono amp would be suggested but if it is just a single sub just for a standard bass upgrade then a 2 channel amp would be fine you can still use a mono amp on one sub just remember to take into perspective the RMS rating and the Impedance on both the Subs and the Amp
Can you hook up a sub woofer with out an amp in a car?
i. HIGHLY. recommend. an. amp. But it is possible if you would buy a converter for your CD player or just connect the sub wire from your sub and connect it into your rear speakers on your trunk. But this would send treble through them which sounds like crap and isn't exactly the best on the subs. I would get an amp
When buying a sub woofer and an amp is it better for the amp to match the subs rms wattage or is it better to match the max wattage?
Yes unless you want to smoke your subs
How do you wire an amplifier to 2 subs?
Mono amp: hook up 2 wires to the positive speaker output, and 2 wires to the negative speaker output. Hook the positives up to the positive leads on the subs, and the negatives to the negatives. Stereo amp: one positive wire to each positive output on the amp, same with negative. Make sure you get corresponding positive and negative to each sub. Stereo amp running bridged (mono): It's normally the outter positive and negative leads, but refer to the manual. Wire same way as a mono amp, just use the bridge outputs. Mono or Bridged would be running 2 ohms if you are running single coil subs. Stereo would be 4 ohms. If you have a dual coil sub (such as Kicker Comp VR), you would want to run stereo because those subs run 2 ohm's stock do to the dual voice coils. Or 1 amp per sub unless you have a 1 ohm stable amp, which most likely you don't.
If you have a 1000 watt 2 ch amp and 2 1000 watt G A 12's how do you set it to 1 ohm?
unfortionatly it alot more difficult than that. you first need to know if your subs are dual or single voice coil. then the ohm of the coils. your next step is to make SURE your amp is one ohm stable. (most are not) if your sub ohm will match you amp ohm. safely. its all in the wireing of the amp to the subs to change the ohms. if you dont know exactly how to wire them DONT DO IT yourself.
Can you power one 12 inch sub and two 8 inch subs with one 1600watt mono amp?
That depends on the power ratings of the subs.
What type of wire do you need to run a 60 amp sub panel with 3 20 amp single breakers in the panel?
I would use 4 AWG copper to be safe.
What is a good sub woofer amplifier?
Depending on the RMS power of your sub, and size and brand of your sub, it will depend. If you have a single sub, I'd recommend a monoblock amp that puts out close to or enough to power your sub. You could also use a 2 channel bridgeable amp, as they are generally a much cheaper option. For dual subs, I'd say a bridgeable 4 channel amp, or high-output 2ch amp. To give an exact amp, I don't go past the Pioneer GM-d8500M 1200w Class-D Monoblock amp.
Can you set up two mtx tt6510-02 shallow mount subs to one mtx ta7402 amp?
Yes you can from amp wire the first speaker + & - then from that speaker run wires to the + & - to 2nd sub just need to watch Ohm load make sure your amp can handle it.
