i had good guys install an 8guage amp kit to my SONY XM-2165GTX   then out to 2 10" SONY XS-L101P5

it sounds bomb bigidity!.   then i decided to install another amp. so i bought a distribution block alont with a 4 guage amp kit.!

 and installed it my self.  wen i played it , it sounded weak. its kicking but not as much as before.. and its on a 4 guage?

so then i took everything apart. and put it back the way it was before.. the way good guys installed it

and it sounds Grrrreeeaatt!!.. wat seems to be the problem?

i already know sonys are good but thats all i could afford sorry!.

Perhaps when you changed the wiring you accidentally changed your woofers phase. if you wired them out of phase you would notice a major decrease in output.

I'm guesing your amp is bridged right now so its outputting about 400 watts RMS at most. I'm also guesing that your second amp is a 4 channel powering your mids and highs which probobly outputs around 40 to 60 watts X 4. Do your headlights dim when you play your music at night? If so your charging system might not be able to handle all of your amps.

Hey bang, do this. Put it back like it sounds like crap. Turn it up to where your pushing your subs good. Now take you balance adjustment and move it all the way to one side, then the other. If it starts hitting good on either side but goes away when you bring it back to center then you are out of phase somewhere. Its very easy to have a positive and negative backward.

i wired the ground wire for both amps to the same chasis  "same bolt" would that have an effect?

also wen i wired up the 2 amps. only one of the amps was hooked up to subs, the other amp i just left it to see if it works grreeat... but it iddn't so i just took everything down.

also. does the amp kit all have to be the same brand, cuz i had monster amp kit

then i bought the 4 guage amp kit and it was a generic brand name called "c4"

i left the remote wire and the rca wire as the monster cable amp,

all i did was take the 4guage power wire, and the 4 guage ground wire. and a lightning audio distribution block

That might be it.. try this.. Wire it with your 4 gauge. then only have your 2Chanell amp grounded and try it then. Dont worry about the 4 channel yet. If your system rocks then try putting the 4 channel in another ground.. Make sure to sand out any paint chips..lol.
