Default multiple amp question

My friend wants to add another amp to his suv and I was just wondering how he would do that. Would he buy another amp kit and just run it again? Or is there something else you buy for this to be possible?

You could use distribution blocks and jumpers for the remote wire and rca's to the second amplifier.

Depending on what amps he is running though you may want to consider upgrading your main power wire and your Big 3 back to the distribution block.(See FAQ sticky if you don't know the Big 3)

distribution blocks are as simple as piece of brass that one wire mounts to, and then one or two others can mount to and split off of. Some get really fancy and have fuses, lights, voltmeters ect so the price will vary. I ran a single 4 awg down to a fused dist. block that I mounted in my consol. It is on page 4-5 of my cardomain page in my sig.
