Hi all,
I'm trying to wire in a second amp in my car. The first amp (JBL GTO 75.2 old version) is wired in by the car audio guys almost 10 years ago, using some Autoleads wiring kit from 14 years ago (recycled from my first install 14 years ago). I think it's 8 gauge wire, not sure about the fuse. Just bought a second amp (Mutant MT2404) recently. Not the best amp I know, but short on cash!
I was wondering whether I can wire the second amp from the first amp, and uprate the fuse, or whether I should run a second power cable from the battery with its own fuse. Also what fuse would I need if I go for plan A? I'm planning on bridging the Mutant for my front component set, and bridging the JBL for the bass box, so I guess I would be running max power.
Thanks.
Adrian
