Okay so, hi everyone, my Name is Steve, been reading these forums for quite a while, never posted because someone else asked the questions I had at some point or another.
I've got 2 12"s in a box, which I'm wiring to a 760w Sony amp, I also have 2 sony xplod 320w 6x9's which I want to wire to my 200w Dual amp.
My Head unit only has one pre/out, or is it pre/amp :( Anywho, So I have 2 Y Adapters so that I can run signal to both amps.
Question is, will that work, the Y adapters. Also planning to daisy chain the remote wire, correct?
I've got a 2F cap so I don't think power is going to be an issue.
I need to ground both amps together or seperately? Can I use the same grounding hole for both? And I'll want to run both into the Cap, yes? no?
Any help would be great, thanks alot.

Oh and one more thing.. sorry
I was told to run one + from one sub to the - of another, and the other - to the other + of the other sub, then run a - from one sub and a + from the other to the amp bridged, this is correct right?

y adaptors dont affect much, they will be fine if you have only one pre-out. you can connect both remotes together, that will not be an issue. a cap will not do anything for you if your alternator cannot power your system along, the cap will just add more strain to your alternator. you can use the same ground hole, just make sure you have a good clean ground. scrape away all paint to make the best ground possible.

Refer to the woofer wiring link on the left bar of this site for a visual
I would upgrade your big three...every car should have this done...it can only help and isn't hard at all and doens't cost much.
I would rather run a small patch cable from one amp to another if one of the amps has an rca output.
I would not ground both amps at one point and stack the terminals on top of each other...I would rather suggest having them grounded about an inch apart
