Hooking up multiple amps
I currently have a 300Watt kicker amp powering a sub, I got a great deal on a box w 2 12's and one amp. But them amp dosent generate enough power for both subs. So Im thinking of using my current amp with the new amp to power the new box w two amps. I've researched it and Im fairly clear on how to split the power and ground signal (although any pointers would be appreciated), but im not very clear on how to split the turn on lead. Any help would be more than welcomed, thanks.

A one channel 1000 watt amp will have no problem powering any two subs you want to hook to it.
Each amp will provide different amounts of power and frequencies, which will result in poor sound. Also, you won't be as efficient with two amps as with one. Get one amp powerful enough to do the job, or your good deal isn't such a good deal.

There are two ways to wire multiple drivers - series and parallel - depending on your speakers, amp, and needs.
