2nd amp connection

Ok all... I just got my 2nd amp :thumbsup: (well, just won it on Ebay today to be exact), and am allready thinking about how I'm going to hook it up. Power's easy, as I've already got a cap and a distribution block, but I was wondering about the RCA's.

I'm going to be bridging the two amps into each of my subs, and was wondering what the recommended practice is for the RCA connections. I do have a HU that's got 2 pre outs, one's front, the other's back, so I could run it that way. Otherwise, I was thinking about getting a Y-adaptor for the RCA's and splitting my current connection into both of the amps. And ideas peeps? Would this degrade my sound quality? Or not enough that I'll notice....?

go ahead and get some good y connectors...... shouldnt hurt the signal to much.

Thanks man. That's all I needed to hear.

dont forget, some amps have rca outs also. y connectors are fine. i use them on my audiobahn amp.

i 3rd the y adapters or daisy chain if available

radio shack y adapters are amazing

I had two amps, each one bridged, one for each sub. They were wired with the left RCA input into the left input of one amp and the right RCA input into the left input of the other amp. Hope this helps.

i wouldnt do that. it would be like having one big unbridged amp. i tend to like bridged better cause it is louder in most cases.

i had to use y adaptors once before i got my new HU and it will sound pretty much the same
