Joe Torres Unregistered guest | I assume you mean you'd be wiring each voice coil to each amp. I'd think they'd have to be identical amps, as even differences between brands w/ same RMS wattage could cause problems. And I'd think that getting them out of phase could cause torquing of the cone, which could be catastrophic, especially at the wattage you're talking about. But then again, I've never heard of anyone doing it, successfully or otherwise. Someone with more experience should give you the final advice |

New member Username: BbkkPost Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | Hey I have a stupid question. I bought a 600w 2-channel Legacy amp and 12" Kenwood 600w subs and I have no idea where to start. I have a 97 Monte Carlo if that helps. I don't know how to hook it up. If someone could quick explain to me that would be great. |

Bronze Member Username: TdisantoPost Number: 86 Registered: Sep-05 | You need to use RCA cables and a remoter wire to hook up between your amplifier and your Head Unit. You need to hook up prolly an 8AWG wire from the positvie terminal of your battery to the positive terminal of your amp. You need to ground your amps as well. You also need to run speaker wire from the output terminals of your amp to the terminals on the sub. (+ to +, - to -) To get all of this stuff you need to go to your local car audio shop or other business that sells amp wiring kits. This kit will contain all of the componets metioned above and how to install them in greater detail. Any more specific questions just ask  |
