second amp

[steve_335]

I'm going to fit a second amp and was just wondering whether i can tap in to the power cable or have to run as new cable direct to the battery???

[betty02]

ebay is your best bet mate, what gauge wire are you using at the minute???

[steve_335]

um, i think 8 gaugge, not sure, don't know too much about electrics

[Predator_R32]

get a pic of the wire you have mate, you will be best upgrading it to 4 gauge at least from the battery to the distribution block and then from there just use the 8 gauge

I would but i haven't got a digital camera. It says on the wire 8awg, if its any help, it was the wire that came with the set.

Yeah all you need it a power distributor and you can get them from maplins for about £10.

yeah mate you need some 4 gauge tbh, you can get a decent kit from ebay
