Aj11 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 What kind of amp? is it for your subs? mids/highs? front/rear? what are you running now? how many pre outs does your deck have? do you have a deck or line out converter? the main power ground rem are the same. but adding a fuse or distro block depend on what theamp is for jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmizzle99 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 So is the problem that you're not sure how to use the 1 set of RCAs to feed both the sub amp and 6x9 amp? Camaro SS Build Altima build 2.0 Altima build 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyboy4you93 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'm not sure on if I keep my inline fuse since I have a distrubution block with fuses in it?? And would adding my mids and high amp take away the noise I'm hearing in my subs and speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would adding my mids and high amp take away the noise I'm hearing in my subs and speakers No matter whether or not you have a fused distribution block, you NEED a fuse as close to the battery as possible. Fused distribution block downstream of your main fuse isn't a bad idea honestly. If you have noise in your speakers and subs, you have a problem that should probably be sorted out prior to throwing more equipment in and adding more possible sources of noise. What have you done to try and troubleshoot the noise? What kind of noise? Full breakdown of EVERYTHING you have in your system would be really helpful, including where components are grounded. 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.

Aj11 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 bad ground! really bad ground. ditch the seats and go to the frame. 4g is a lil small. you could split it and run 1 4g in 2 4g out to each amp. but i would run a whole other wire for the mud/high amp. make sure each has there own ground. you can run.a short rem wire from your sub amp to the mid/high amp that's fine. if you keep the 4g you.have now and splice off it just fuse the for the wire 1ft from The battery. a good what 120/150amp anl fuse should be the right size. then just plug your rc cables into the deck in the right spot. set gain and eq accordingly and your good to go actually sorry your amp is a 1200 and there a Lil dirty so the 4g is a perfect size for that amp. but i always go bigger. I'm sure the 4g will handle both just fine. hows your voltage? can you post a pic of your ground?is your rc wires ran on the same side as your power? if so that could be adding to your issue. either way go to your frame. oh and upgrading the ground on your deck can help. when i first got my Saturn i grounded to the frame and had terrible engine noise coming from all my speakers/subs. i changed the grounds to many times to Count. went bought new rc cables nothing worked. finally someone said try upgrading the ground on my hu. i did with 8g right to the frame. solved all my problems. jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
