Subject: Question about bridging two Amps
IP: Logged

Message:
I have a 200 watt amp with pass thru RCA plugs. I tried bridging it to a 600 watt amp, but the 600 watt amp won't power up. Do I need to hook the 600 watt amp to the battery as well? Will I also have to run another REM wire? An help would be greatly appreciated.

please explain exactly how you have these hooked up. I'm not sure what you mean by "Bridging" here.

I have the battery hooked up to a 200 watt amp. I also have the REM, ground, and head unit hooked up to the same 200 watt amp. Along w/ the RCAs that hook up w/ the CD player there is another set of RCA plugs labeled "Pass-Thru". I hooked another set of RCA plugs into the Pass Thru and connected it with a 600 watt amp. Somebody told me that that was all I had to do but the 600 watt amp won't power up.

Ah, I see. Both amps need their own battery, ground, and remote lines. The "pass-through" RCA jacks simply feed the audio signal to another amplifier.
