Component speaker hook up?

Question

I have looked an looked an i just can't find a decent tutorial that will help me out..

How in the world do you power components with an amp. What size amps. i can't find any small amps that doesn't seem like it would be to much power

I have a 800 watt sony amp providing sufficent power to my pioneers. Can i tap into the channels on that amp to power my components i plan on buying or do i need a separate amp.. Also if i was to buy another amp. how do i get RCA cables to it if my headunit only has one set of outputs

Answer 1

Well you should get a 4-channel amp to run midrange it'll be the most bang for your buck.  You'll also need to get a crossover to split the signal to multiple amps.  You just run the RCA's from the out on your head unit to the in on your crossover, then there'll be 3-4 sets of outs on the other side.  1 for high end, mid range, low, and sometimes non-fading (subs).

Answer 2

Use Y-adapters for the RCA's

Run a separate power wire

And use the same power on trigger wire. to turn both amps on
