re audio ctx32001 amp

i was checking out this amp and i noticed that it has two power and ground inputs.. has anyone every seen a amp that needs this kind of power. would you wire it up off two distro blocks from the same 12v source or thats a waste any thoughts post your suggestions

They split one big terminal into 2 smaller ones for size & cable etc reasons. It is not a dual-supply situation - the terminals are connected together in the amp.

So your saying the dual power sources is over kill or based on the specs its needed to power this amp1993 sdv

Unless it is a dual supply input, a dual power source is pointless. In fact it will be more unreliable unless EACH source can handle the required power.

That's what I was thinking about the dual supply input .1993 sdv

I can't see the need for a dual (redundant) supply for amps - they are not telco equipment. And the cost involved - for something that rarely occurs... It'll probably be like the Kicker I dismantled - parallel terminals onto a common PCB track - merely to make connection easier or maybe a redundant terminal for half the cable voltage drop. But not a "dual" supply - merely dual feeds.

And that's only 90A - NBD (no big deal).

That's the point I'm getting at . I'm thinking dual inputs is this really necessary or its one of thosd things or angles some companies use to sell there equipment. At first I'm thinking that would look cool under a amp rack with 4 giant wires running to it but then I go . 12v is 12v unless it was from two different sources . So I decided to ask . Ultimately I might just email the company and ask1993 sdv

The only possible purpose of "dual inputs" would be to use two smaller gauge cables to achieve the current carrying capacity of a larger gauge. There is no other purpose in a 12V system. That being said, the amp you mention in the title has ONE input, according to the photo from RE.Support the12volt.com
