white_boi_audio Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 if he can't afford more than 4 ga then that'll be fine, put a 100 amp fuse underhood. as for the headunit. he probably has only front and rear outputs to that's a front left, front right, rear left and rear right. get two sets of rca's and run those from the headunit to all four inputs of the four channel amp, then take a shorter rca and run it from the output of the four channel amp to the input of the sub amp. good luck bro, it's easy as cake. just remember if you attempt to install the amps ......... disconnet the negative on the battery, run everything and hook the amps up, when you're done hook the negative on the underhood battery back up and you're good to go. I mean he has 8 guage wire with a 30 amp fuse I don't see how he hasn't blew the fuse yet when his sub amp has two 30 amp fuses. I hope I can find a 100 amp fuse to fit in the location where the 30 amp one is. How do you think I should get power to his high amp just run some more 8 guage off of the sub amp to the high amp or try and get a distroblock for 8 gauge. With his headunit he has 2 outputs that has his rca's in it that go to the sub amp. So what I was thinking is hooking the rca into the high amp and then a short one to the sub amp.

white_boi_audio Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Thats his headunit so you can look at the pictures of it and the back of it. http://sonicelectronix.com/item_8649_Kenwo...DC-MP435U.html# Quote "MY RIDE" 1987 Chevy Cavalier Z24 2.8L V6 -- CB Radio with PA speaker Head Unit: 7 inch Jensen Flip-out -- Speakers: 4 Visonik 6 1/2s and 4 Visonik 6x9s Subwoofer: One Audiobahn 18 - Sub Amp: Power Acoustik OV1-2000d 2000 watt monoblock amp -- Battery in back - Kinetic HC600 -- Sub box: Custom built 5 cubic foot tuned to 30 hertz Coming soon: Bigger Highs Amp, Power inverter "WhItE bOi AuDiO" "FEAR THE DUCK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his headunit he has 2 outputs that has his rca's in it that go to the sub amp. So what I was thinking is hooking the rca into the high amp and then a short one to the sub amp. yeh are on track with hooking the rca(s) up to the h/u and running them to the 4 channel and from the four channel to the sub amp. now see if he can that power wire to 4ga and put a 100 amp fuse underhood and you'll be good to go. that 8 ga will cut it but you'll be cutting it close and probably slightly robbing your amp of a little juice (let's try and avoid that).

white_boi_audio Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, but I need to know how to get power to the high amp just run wire from the sub amp or get a distro block?

dmanson Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, but I need to know how to get power to the high amp just run wire from the sub amp or get a distro block? yes get a distribution block and if you can get one with a 1/0 or 4 ga input and two or more outputs ...... that way if ya homie upgrades his power wire later on down the road the distribution block is still usable. good luck Quote 2-DC 15XLM2 D.7s 1-DC 5K amp (1) XS Power D6500(UNDERHOOD) and (1) XS3000(REAR) 3 runs 1/0ga for power and 2 runs of 1/0ga for negative.

Hell i may just tell him to get a shop todo it. well regardless he'll have to buy RCAs and then have to pay the shop to install everything ....... sort of sucks. he'll need either two sets of RCAs and one short one or you can get the RCAs (can't think of the proper name of them), ah yeh they are maded for four channel amps ........... get those and don't forget the one short RCA. he'd save money hooking it up with you or himself. but hey if you don't feel comfortable about it then let the shop do it.
