Can two car amps share the same ground?

As long as both amps are grounded to the same spot you should be able to avoid ground loop. Runing to a distro or running both grounds to the same spot ends up with the same result.

Can you strap 2 different amps together?

For the most part, “Strapping” – aka ‘Bridging’ – TWO amps together is done to get Double the @1ohm Power Rating of One Amp. This makes the setup – AFTER “strapping” – stable ONLY to a 2-ohm final load .

Do I need a capacitor for 2 amps?

A: The rule of thumb is to put in 1 Farad of capacitance for every 1,000 watts RMS of total system power. But there is no electronic penalty for using larger value caps, and in fact, many see benefits with 2 or 3 Farads per 1,000 watts RMS. The larger the cap, the more charge is available for the amp when it needs it.

How does a car audio distribution block work?

The basic idea behind a car audio distribution block is to take a power input and split the power through multiple cables. Fused distribution blocks can serve to protect your audio components from unwanted power surges and are designed for power cables.

Do I need a distribution block for my amp?

A distribution block can also be fused, which is helpful if your amps don’t include built-in fuses. Rather than grounding your amps individually, a distribution block should also be used to provide the ground connection.

What is a distribution block and why do you need one?

Fused distribution blocks can serve to protect your audio components from unwanted power surges and are designed for power cables. Non-fused distribution blocks are ideal for ground wires and can be an excellent way to join several ground cables.

What is a non-fused distribution block?

Non-fused distribution blocks are ideal for ground wires and can be an excellent way to join several ground cables. Our wide collection power (fused) and ground (non-fused) distribution blocks can be found here.
