    Using two amps

    Ok, I just bought a Cerwin Vega amp,

    http://www.cerwinvega.com/products/m..._newspecs.html

    And I now have a couple questions:

    1) What's your opinion on this model?
    2) Will this be enough to push (2) 12in. MTX 4000s?
    3) I have a Jensen 500w amp I want to use to power my front
    6.5in, how do I properly wire two amps?
    4)Which would be better for my subs, CV or Jensen?

    That's all for now, I'm sure I'll have some more questions later.

    Thanks in advance for any and all info

    to properly run those two amps: run 4 gauge wire with an in line fuse from the battery. use a distribution block somewhere in the trunk to split the power wire. run 8 ga to each amp. run 14 gauge remote wire from the head unit and then split that for each amp. you need to run 2 different sets of patch cables obviously. and i reccomend grounding both amps to the same spot somewhere in the spare tire well.
