Amp Question
I currently have a 06 Chevy Silverado Ext Cab. I have a Pioneer AVIC-
Z1 Head unit, Infinity Ref Series 6010 Component System in front, Infinity Ref. Series 6412 cfp speakers in rear and all are powered by a Infinity Reference 7541 amp. I have just purchase a sub/box and mono channel amp. My IR7541 amp has the preamp output. How do I need to go about installing the new amp for the sub? |

How do I need to go about installing the new amp for the sub? If the Pioneer has a subwoofer output, your best best would be to run a set of RCA's right to the deck or the brain if that is where the sub out is. Doing it that way will let let control things like xover frequency, subvolume, and probably other sub functions right from the pioneer deck |

Amp Question
That is what I thought. As far as power to the new amp...Do I have to
run a new power to the battery or can I somehow run off existing? I'd run one big power cable to the back, Put a distro block in the trunk, and connect all your amps that. That way you only need one fuse, and you use a lot less cable. They come in all sizes and config's, such as: 1 4g wire in and four 8g wires out.. You can use your existing wire as long as it's big enough to power both amps. Check something like http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp to see if what you have is in fact big enough. |

Actually, there should be two fuses: 1. one big one up front, preferably no more than 12" away from the battery, and 2. one for each amp in the installation on or near your amp rack. Having just one fuse up front will only protect you against catastrophic car damage in the event there's a short--it won't protect your amps themselves. Even if your amp has a built-in fuse or other protection, it's still a good idea to add another in your distro block in the rear so it's easy to get to. -dan |
