2nd amp install--can i do this?
Hi All,
I have a 350w RMS amp running my 2x 10's (bridged) but I now need to put another amp in to run my new components (amp is 70w x4 rms).
I don't want to take apart the whole dash to get to the back of the factory deck to get the remote wire to get to a signal to the amp...
Here is the question..
Can i split the signal wire from the existing amp and run it to the new amp?
Or can I remove the bose amp and run that signal to the new amp? (ps where is the bose amp??)
Also can I run a splitter for the 8 gauge power wire from the first amp to power the second amp?
That means only one fuse but it powers both amps???
Is this going to work or will i blow everything up?
Please let me know your thoughts!!
Thanks so much!

You can easily split the remote wire among the two amps. However, you must run 2 new sets of RCA cables to the back of the headunit (assuming you have an aftermarket radio). You cannot simply use the sub-out signal for both front/rear.
As for power wire, 8 gauge is pushing it if you are running 2 amps. I highly recommend upgrading to 4 gauge and splitting into 8 gauge for either amp.
The stock bose amplifier on coupes are located to the left of the spare tire under the carpeted mat and under the plastic panel.
