    Default Wiring up a second amp.

    Helloo, was just wondering if somebody could shed a bit of light on my situation for me.

    i have a 2x 12" subs, running off a 1800w amp, i have been given a 350w amp from a friend.

    my problem is, i want to run the rear 6x9's off the 350w amp, but im unsure to go about it.

    can the 6x9's connect straight into the amp, then run a wire kit for the amp to the battery/headunit?

    so the speakers can be discounted from the headunit and connect to the amp?

    thanks dan.

    need to know how many rca outputs is on the back of it will determin how many amps you can hook up via rca

    also if the amp that is running the subs, if that has a rca output on it for another amp, could use that if there is only 1 output on the head unit

    or you might need to use line out converter to rca

    As said if you can at least come up with a model number for the headunit would be good. You can run a separate power lead etc for the other amp. Piggyback the remote wire. Worst comes to worse get an rca splitter.

    Get RCA cables, run from the pre-puts on the first amp, and connect to second amp. Connect 6x9"s to the second amp, run power to second amp. Done.
