Default Second amp suggestion.

I need an amp suggestion to run two DDw8's in the bags. The amp would go in one of the bags. I currently have the sony XAV-AX100 HU, SS PN 4.900d amp in the fairing, MMats in the lowers, and AD CX 621s in the fairing. I would also like to know how you connect a second amp?
Thanks,
Brian

Lot of amp options. If you can fit it a JL 400/4 is perfect. Feed a remote and rca under the fuel tank from the head unit, run a power and ground from battery to a anderson connecter, use female/female rca adapters to connect the rca from bag to the ones from head unit, and use a 0g bulkhead connecter to seal everything that runs out the bag. Wrap all in some tessa tape or tech flex and zip tie as much up away from wheel and brake that you can. You also need a couple pair weather pack connectors and route some speaker wire from bag to bag. Use a 3/8-1/2 id grommet for the other bag to rum speaker wire in.

I'm going to assume that the two blue wires(closest to your hand) with the red tips are the speaker wires, the power and ground are connected to the anderson connector, and the rca cables are the ones furthest to the right wrapped in the black material. Do I need to add an additional fuse? Can I connect the remote wire to the same place(cigarette lighter) as my first amp?
Thanks,
Brian

Those wires closet to my hand are remote wires. I have my remotes daisy chained from the cigg lighter to amp to amp to amp.

One fuse per amp

And yes, the wires in the back are the RCAs

They do, except for the ones that have to go to the other bag
