Stinger amp install
I have a 2012 ultra w/ a Kenwood deck that I will put the stinger spx700 on. Has anyone been able to stack another micro amp on top of the stinger. I am running 6 speaker and would like to have them all on their own channel and keep everything under the fairing. Thanks!

It depends on the other amp and how you are running it. I put a nvx vadm4 on top of my stinger and was running it bridged. It got real hot and worried me about the heat so I moved the vadm4 back to the cubby hole. It never failed but I worried about getting so hot it would fade the outer fairing paint over time so I moved it.

My plan was a distribution block and stay with the 10 gauge wire I already have. I will see the stinger seems plenty loud and I have not even tuned it yet. It was like 9pm when I finished so I quickly set the gains and buttoned it up.

Just depends on what your amp needs. I would say that most have changed to a minimum of 4ga wire from battery to the fairing distribution box and 8ga from there to the amps. Only way I'd run 10ga would be that's the biggest the amp connection would take.
