Question: Can you hook up 2 amps to 1 capacitor?

A1: No, there isnt any trick to wiring two amps to one capacitor. Connect the negative terminal of the capacitor to ground. NOTE: The capacitor should be mounted as close as possible to your amplifiers. Connect the positive terminal of each amplifier to the positive terminal of the power capacitor.

Can you run 2 amps off 1 cable?

The short answer is that you can use any number or combination of power amps in a car audio setup as long as you wire them in properly. The most common reason to wire in multiple amps is to have one for your main speakers and a second amplifier for a subwoofer.

Do you 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.

Can you hook up 2 amps to 1 sub?

Can I connect two amps to one sub? A single voice coil sub wont work with the two amps and will result in the outputs being fried as soon as you turn it on. A dual voice sub and the same amps can be done, but it needs to be effectively balanced. However, two amps one sub is definitely possible.

Can two 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.

What does strapping an amp mean?

double up Strapping allows you to double up the power of your amplifiers, while still getting use out of your initial amp. This offers you a more practical upgrade path, as opposed to replacing your first amp with a new one and having the original one not being used anymore.

How do you wire high level input on an amp?

What is the point of bridging an amp?

Bridging an amplifier refers to the process of combining two of four channels into one or two channels with half the ohms. The technique has become very popular among many car owners because it allows amplifiers to send out a more powerful mono signal to the subwoofer or speakers.

How do I choose the right capacitor?

The capacitor physical size is directly proportional to the voltage rating in most cases. For instance, in the sample circuit above, the maximum level of the voltage across the capacitor is the peak level of the 120Vrms that is around 170V (1.41 X 120V). So, the capacitor voltage rating should be 226.67V (170/0.75).

Should I wire my subs in series or parallel?

While series wiring of multiple subs increases the total effective impedance, parallel wiring of multiple loads lowers the total effective impedance. With subwoofers rated at equal impedances, the system impedance is equal to the impedance of one sub voice coil divided by the number of subs.
