You will need to get an 8 gauge amp kit. www.knukonceptz.com has 8 gauge kits at a very decent price. Good Luck |

also u will need to the fuse rating of the amps and get an inline fuse about + or - 5 of that/or that number. say both amps have a 20 watt fuse u need a in line fuse that is about 35-45,
You hook the in line fuse holder about 1' to 2 feet from the battery. Depending on a good mounting postion under the hood, but closer to the 1 foot as possible. SInce u have 2 amps u need a distrubtion block. From the dis block you can use 8 guage wire in most cases.

Reminder--- unhook the negative to your battery first and hook it up last.... |
