1 wire, 2 amps
A friend of mine has 2 amps but only 1 8ga power wire. Can he wire both amps up to the one wire? The first amp is pushing 2 10's and the second is (will be) pushing a 12. He cant use 1 amp to power both sets. Any tips?

that does not sound like an effecient combo of subs
but any way
the wire issue depends on the ammount of current being used and the length of the wire
I think though, that any quality sub amp should have a 4 ga.
wire for power and grounds
You will experiece less of a voltage drop, and increased power
capabilities
maybe run a 4 ga. primary and distribute it near the amps to 2
8 ga. wires feeding to the amps
g/l
