Amp trouble

Post by jgs07 »

i was trying to fix the rca's on my amp that is feeding my interiors and by accident i disconnected a blue wire that connects the amp that is feeding my interiors to the amp that is powering my subs. does anyone know where i am suppose to connect the blue wire to? one end is still connected to the amp that is powering the subs. i just dont know where the blue wire goes on to the amp that is powering the interiors.

Do you have 4 gauge going to each amp?

Follow the wire back, and see if there is a distribution block.

yeah there is a distribution block. does this distribution block in any way lessen the performance of the amps?
