How do you hook up two car stereo amplifiers one to each sub in there own box can you run a power wire out of one amp over to the other amp?
Do you mean the main power from the battery or the remote turn on? If you mean the battery power, usually amp add on kits come with distributor blocks. You make one run of power wire from the battery to somewhere close to your amps. Then, hook that wire to the block, and run a new piece of wire from the block to each amp. If you mean the turn on lead, just make one run from the head unit to the first amp, and then run another piece from the first amp to the second.

How do you hook up a tachometer to a 1980 ex lancer i have hookd the red wire to my ignition and the black to my engine ground and yellow to batery but were do i hook my green wire up2?
The green wire goes to the negative side of the coil. The yellow wire is probably for a light in the dial. You'd want to connect it to a power source that comes on when the headlights are on. The red wire should be connected to a source that is live anytime the key is in the on position.
