I am installing a system in a 04 mustang. I am putting a JVC cd player with all clarion speakers through out for highs/mids. I had a custom Fiberglass box for 2 12s made. I am using a 4 channel Visonik amp for the highs/mids and I have a 1000 watt mono class D amp for the 2 visonik 12s. I have never hooked a system up with 2 amps before. I know people here have and thought I might be able to ask here before I went to CCA.

 

Do I need to run 2 power cables to the battery since I am running 2 amps? Do I need 2 batterys? Do I need a bigger Alt? How would you recomend I wire it up.

 

I alredy have the Highs/mids/cd player/4 channel amp wired. I am wiring the subs/mono amp up on monday when I am off of work.

 

I appreciate any and all help thanks

ok I have a 8 gauge kit ran on the amp now for the highs/mids and I have a 0 gauge for the mono d amp. Should I run the 0 gauge and split with the block? How much do the juncion blocks cost? were would be the cheapest place to get one?

It amazes me the amount of information folks put out there. All Post #1 left out was the Address.

 

:rolleyes:

 

And to answer your question: I would run the 0-Gauge wire to a Distribution Block in the trunk. Then split it off. A 1 Farad Cap is about $20, and will help a little with some dimming of the lights. The Mono Amp is going to be the major power comsumer.

Caps are just a band aid

 

Like said before run 0ga back from the battery and make sure you use good or multiple grounds. Then use a dist block to the amps and ground the amps well.

 

Typically i use spare ground wire and make a grounding kit to the chassis and motor for the batt and then do the same with the amps. Dont go cheap on the connectors either they can cause major problems as well.

Yellow top will not stop the drain. Alt & yellow top with an extra bat will be a plus. Run the 0 gauge to a Dist. block and split from there. Make sure you have a SOLID ground.

 

I was saying as a second battery. My bad. But this man above me knows what he is talkinga bout.
