sub instal question

[jamesybear]

hey i wanna instal a sub on one side of my boot non boxed like onto a wooden wall if that makes sense, anyway ive already got a 600w 4 channelvamp powering speakers, im planning on getting a mono block amp to power the sub, do i just wire it up etc how my other amp is wired up straight to the battery or is done differently as ive already got 1 amp?

cheers for any help

You can get a splitter for the main power feed that puts the wire from your battery in one end and upto 4 outputs on the other. You can get them all over the place, anywhere that sells speakers should sort you out. Halfords etc. I also used one for the earth but you could just earth it somewhere else if you didn't want to buy two splitters.

Without knowing what equipment you currently have, or what you plan upgrading to, I can only offer basic advice.....

Firstly you need to ensure your power supply is adequate, most stock power/charge circuits will support upto approx 1kw rms, if your exceeding this you will need to look at a larger capacity starter battery.....

I would also suggest you give serious consideration to sub placement/aiming, having a sub firing across a boot area is quite possibly the worst scenario with regards output & quality.....I would suggest you experiment & select the position/aiming you prefer, (usually drivers side firing rearwards).....

Here's a quick sketch showing basic twin amp power/earth wiring...

You could also have a browse through THIS THREAD which should give you a basic understanding of what cables/fusing etc you may need....
