daisy-chaining an amp..
i wanna daisy chain my amp with another amp to power my speakers.. do i need to run a another set of power, ground and remote wires? if i do i figured i could just wire it into the amp thats already in my car now.. is that a good idea or would it mess anything up? would just wiring the remote to the other amp mess anything up? would having more than one power wire on the positive side of the battery mess anything up? im just trying to find an easy way to do it so i dont have to run alot of new wire thru the passenger compartment
amp already in car - rockford P2002..
amp i want to daisy-chain - coustics 350u

I'm not real sure what daisy chain is but I can answer the rest of the questions. You dont wanna run the power wire to the one amp then from there to the other. Get a distribution block and run seperate power wires. Do the same for ground. As far as the remote goes you could do like you said. It is such a low amount of power in that wire anyways

i mean i dont think so but if you want to go through hassel of running another power wire then go for it but yeah dont run the power wires from one amp to the other and same with ground but you can do it with the remote. i would suggest getting another rockford or a distribution block. my old rockfords had chainability through rca cords.

D blocks are cheap, suck it up. You can get them for $10-15 without fuseholders if you already have a fuse somewhere else.
