How to Hook Up Two separate amps

[Bmwz389]

My buddy is going to hook up another MTX 7500 series sub and amp (421D) in his blazer.

Now He also wants a power cap (I told him one farad would hold, posibly 1.5)

He already has one hooked up off of 8 gauge wire, and I see an output RCA next to his input...

Now from common sense I believe you can run an RCA cable from the out put to the input of the other amp.

But what do we do for powering the amp itself??

i know theres an option of a power distributer but I have no idea how they work and stuff....

should he run 2 (two) 8 gauge wire kits or should he go with a power dist.???

Thanks alot guys!

Your best bet at this point, is just to buy another 8 gauge kit. Most distribution blocks require 4 gauge or larger in order to carry more current to distribute. So, if you did the distribution block you would end up buying a 4 gauge kit anyhow plus the block. So, save yourself some cash and buy another 8 gauge kit.

alright, I knew that was most likely the right way to go, but its hiding more wires is the fun part lol
