Quick questions....

I have one amp powering my components and I am going to add a second to pwer my sub.
The question I have is.... Do I have to run seperate power, remote and grounds, or can I just splice into the ones for the first amp?

Second question... Will I overload the amp if it is a four channel and I run one set of components and a 10" sub off of it. The amp is a phoenix gold SA1.4x with a built in crossover.

The specs of the amp are:
SA 1.4X SPECIFICATIONS:

Output Power:

4 ohm stereo @ 12/13.8 VDC
30/40 WRMS x 4

2 ohm stereo @ 13.8 VDC
40 WRMS x 4

4 ohm bridged @ 13.8 VDC
120 WRMS x 2

Crossover Frequencies
30Hz to 500Hz

Crossover Slopes
12dB per Octave

I know how to hook all of this stuff up but the specs are like a foreign language to me. Any help would be appreciated.

 

There are two things you can do. If you want to add another amp just get a distribution block. That will allow you to split the main power wire so you can run multiple amps. You could also run your components and subs off of the amp you have now. Just bridge the rear channels to mono to run the sub and use the front channels to run your components. A seperate amp for your sub will get you more power though and that means more boom. Good luck!

 

 

cool thanks guys, that's basically what I was going to do for now. ! amp for the speakers. But do you think this amp has enough in it to even move the sub?

 

youll get 120 watts for the sub....what kind of sub is it what are the RMS and Peak ratings....

 

All I know is that it's a JL audio 10" . I can try to find the specs...

 

If you don't know the model number, chances are it's a WO. Maybe a W3, but probably a W0. Either way, 150WRMS is plenty.
