can this be done by putting a wire between the two amps? ive got two 600w amps, if i wanted to add the second can i link of a cable from my primary to the secndary? plus im guessing ill need a new amp cabling set since mines only 720w max

[dontpannic]

Can I bump this as I need to know the answer to this too...?

[ukgaz]

please do i want to get mine setup by the weekend as im going to a meet

What's the fuses in each of the amps? This will determine the amount of current your wires will need to be capable of handling. The correct way to do it would be to get a distribution block, and run wire from the battery to this, then from this to the 2 amps.

[ukgaz]

both fuses are 30amps

wiring fuse is a 60amp

[properphatboy]

Your amps are 600W Max then, not RMS.

30x12=720W

Your power wires should be fine, as long as they're rated right. I'd probably go up though, just to be uber safe, but that's just me.

ive just bought one of those distritubion boxes with two 40amp fuses so hopefully that should hold it nicely

if i were you get a 1.3 farad cap from a site i found only £50 will save blowing amps, speakers and ear drums as i learnt to my cost muahahahhaha owwww 2000w watts in one big thump = means 2 dead speakers and no balance i pulled over and felt out of my car due to the disorientation ahhhhhhhhh

if i were you get a 1.2 farad cap from a site i found only £50 will save blowing amps, speakers and ear drums as i learnt to my cost muahahahhaha owwww 2000w watts in one big thump = means 2 dead speakers and no balance i pulled over and felt out of my car due to the disorientation ahhhhhhhhh

Eh?

Don't quite understand that one.

i tested my setup today and worked fine, its done as follows for the other bloke who was asking

battery -> fuse -> power distribution box with two fuses ->

connector 1 -> amp1 power conn
connector 2 -> amp2 power conn

if it sounds confusing add me on msn and ill help you

I think he meant that he turned on his system at full whack blew two speakers with 2000W and juddered his inner ear bones which control balance of the body...

If that is how I read it that is f*cking hilarious

ukgaz, thanks for that mate, I'll give that a go when I get my other amp!

use one of the other channels for your distribution block and one of the lives can be used for a boot neon

[ukgaz]

now thats a good plan, i was looking at using some blue ones, but the only ones i can find are ones that connect into the cigerette lighter, got some linkys mate that i could get some ones from that could be cabled onto the distributor

use computer cold cathode tubes. much cheaper.

just type cold cathode in ebay and look for blue 12" tubes then.

they should cost around £7

then go to motor world and get a telescopic boot switch (black platic)

use the switch on the earth side.

use an inline fuse holder with a wire from your dist block as the live to the lights. stick the lights to the bottom of the parcel shelf , use the inverter you get with the tubes and lamp em up.

NOO!

Dont' buy them from ebay - go to ebuyer.co.uk and get them for £2.00!

Theres my guide to footwell neons in the Guides section with links!

hey i got one of those sets from my pc already lol dont use them any more so might aswell

ok cabling on this goes

lights > some black box which the two lights connect to > two cables (black, from what i read is the ground and a red)

the red one has a switch in it so im guessing thats what goes to the distbox and black to ground of course

would it be ok to join this onto one of the spots from where the amp is connected to on the dist box?
