you would probably need to get a 1 into 2 fuse holder. it should look something like this:


hope that helps.

You only need 1 wire from the battery (make sure it is large enough gauge), run it to a distribution block that will split it into two.

Steve run a 4 gauge wire to the area the amps will be mounted then used the above style fusable distribution block to split it into two 8 gauge leads that will run one to each amp.

See you saturday pal.

Thanks again Guys!!!

ok can either of you two WIZARDS please tell me what i need to order to finish my system?

the goal is to keep the factory head unit but run the speakers i have

1) i want to keep my factory head unit

2) I have s-pods with a set of Diamond ?? compentants

3) have a cheap ($100) set of canadce i used for the frt on my 01 figure i'll use these until i can save a few more pennies for some better frts

4) two amps - an older soundstream 414s that i'll use to feed the frt speakers and a pioneer amp (here's the link http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...6&highlight=amp ) to feed the S-pods

5) i have a bose rsx sub that's sitting in the basement as well



so i guess i'll need some #4 wire from the battery

then a splitter for the power

but what about a line ?? so that i can run rca's to the rear from the factory head unit

Thanks again Guys and John you KNOW i'll be looking for your help
