ok not sure is i understand what you asking.

lets see if i can get this.

you want to know how and where to run an amp wiring???

or
do you want to know who to buy from and have it installed???


so you have an Alpine deck from what i gather. deck model number would be handy as every deck is different in each line of Decks.

So give us a bit more info on what exactly it is you need and you will see a lot more information.

I think he/she wants to know how to run 2 amps. More info would be great as ibnboxin stated,...deck model number,amps,speakers..? Are you going to run one sub,2 or more,... Are you running an amp to your sub/subs and seperates/components?

Had that head unit, it's got 3 sets of pre-outs (F,R and Sub) so that makes life easy. What kind of amps do you have? Have you addressed power requirements for them ?etc..

Wow. I think you need to slowdown and think about your question before you make a whole thread about it.

As far as power to the amps go, you only have to run one 12v line to the back. You would then split it with a distribution block. Each amp should be individually grounded. You would then run the sub pre-out to the back and use a y-splitter to send it to each amp. I believe it would be much easier to wire these subs to a single amp. You can find more info on that HERE, but if you insist on using two I hope your box has two terminal cups. Also make sure you are using the correct gauge of wire and the appropriate size fuse.

If this sounds overwhelming you should probably follow the advice of randomsuper, lvbitwiz, and xseveredveganx.
